[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an immigrant and I was blessed with really sweet female grandmotherly teachers throughout the early school years.  We were patted on the shoulders, given a hug, kissed on the head almost every day when we were in ES.  When we became a bit older, praise was given by patting on the shoulders, hugs, hand shake.   Affection was expected from teachers.  Kids and parents (as well as other teachers) are very quick to figure out an inappropriate intention.

This country is just so sad.   We are a very physically demonstrative family, I would absolutely get into trouble if I was a teacher here because I just hug everybody. [/quote]

Totally agree. We're keeping everyone so safe from hugs and pats on the head (also from adults setting responsible boundaries to children's behavior when needed) that kids grow up feeling unloved, alienated, and confused, and then we wonder why they go back to shoot up their school. But the connection will be dismissed in the next post, I'm sure.[/quote]
