[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so I make sure I understand correctly - the complaints that the kids were making recently were about OTHER teachers, not this one? It just made you remember this incident that they had no problem with and went nowhere?

I wouldn't worry about it. This seems pretty minor, especially since it happened publicly and you know that nothing came of it.

If this happened last week, or if they had other problematic interactions with this teacher, I'd have a different answer. [/quote]

The conversation was about male teachers that they enjoyed and thought were great teachers, who then ended up doing things that made them feel very uncomfortable. About how disappointing this was to realize just how many men are like this, even ones that initially seem good, and how gross it felt to have adult men looking at them like this and saying and doing things they were saying and doing.

Which reminded me about this teacher whose behavior made ME uncomfortable (as an adult with understanding of the importance of boundaries, especially between authority and kids). I think at this age DD would be able to see that maybe some of the interactions with this teacher weren't in her best interest, but I haven't about the conversation up with her again yet, she's been busy with midterms at Uni.

I'm just wanting to gauge my own reaction a bit first. [/quote]
