[quote=Anonymous]I'll start by saying I'm not a minority as you may decide that invalidates my post, but I don't understand what the big deal is.

I agree it's weird, but it sounds like an adult trying to relate to kids and doing it badly.  My impression from your post is that he did it as a joke and not as a serious action.

If it were my daughter, I'd probably acknowledge it was odd, but then shrug it off unless there were future incidents.  Now, if he had pulled a gun, manhandled her, or made her feel threatened in any way it would be a completely different story.  I would be the livid one in that case and I would be talking to people immediately.

I tend to be overprotective, but I try to let my kids take the lead at school.  If they have concerns, I encourage them to address them personally, with the understanding that they can always ask me to talk to the school if needed.  It sounds like your daughter is less upset about the situation than about you jumping in to fix the situation.  Since your daughter was the one who was actually there, and since she's a high school junior (not an elementary student who may not be able to accurately judge situations), I'd trust her judgement and follow her lead.[/quote]
