Somebody needs a hug

How do you know when adults are out-of-touch?

"You get into shades of gray," [Kilmer Middle School Principal Deborah] Hernandez said. "The kids say, 'If he can high-five, then I can do this.'"

We're guessing that "this" can mean anything from hug to shiv.

Even the reporter, Maria Glod, has no clue as evidenced by the following excerpts:

Some students -- and these are friends -- play "bloody knuckles," which involves slamming their knuckles together as hard as they can.

Students won't get busted if they high-five in class after answering a difficult math problem.
