[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18:01 here. I'll clarify: DC heard from several students the student had a concussion and was crying because they were afraid they were going to fail the test. DC said that was when the teacher kissed her forehead.

My DC loves their teachers this year for their extreme kindness and excellent teaching. DC is very contemplative about this situation since they believe [b]the forehead kiss was paternalistic affection[/b] by a little, old man towards a kid who was losing it. DC is upset this teacher "lost" their job over a broken game of telephone.

I hope we find the truth since it seems there are two very different versions of this story going around. [/quote]

Okay, I'll admit that a paternalistic forehead kiss in a closet is not appropriate in this day and age.  However, one of my fondest memories from high school was a forehead kiss from a theatre director after a closing night performance.  It was in front of everybody, not in a closet!  I interpreted the forehead kiss as a huge sign of approval and it was never remotely anything more.  I think the theatre director (a teacher) would know to observe stricter boundaries today.[/quote]

But that was a teacher you were close to (and even so, would probably not be appropriate today).  This is a random teacher who caused her to cry by making her take a test she didn't want to take.  And followed up with a hug (or so I heard) and a kiss on the forehead.
