[quote=Anonymous]I think the people who are minimizing this don't understand how inappropriate this is on many levels, especially in the school setting.   I am a school counselor and formerly a teacher (20+ years). Please discuss this with administrators, it probably would be best to email and tell them you want to discuss a serious concern about inappropriate behavior by an adult in the school, then come to discuss in person.

Most school personnel do not behave in this inappropriate way. Speaking for myself and many of my colleagues we were always relieved when parents came in and complained about certain personnel who acted this way because most parents just let it go and then the behavior never got addressed. Also honestly this is probably not the only issue with this person.

I would also suggest that you request in your email that they not discuss directly with your daughter before you meet, at least not with SRO present.   In any case she is only being a teenager and trying to laugh it off but she knows it was not appropriate.

Address it in a serious, non-emotional way. You know what the SRO did was wrong.  This also gives the SRO an opportunity to address the issue and apologize.

The people who are saying you are a helicopter parent don't see what was wrong because they may not be sensitive to certain race, culture and other issues due to lack of personal experience.  [/quote]
