[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it not ok, and even if other people thought it was, if YOU do not, then its not ok. Period.

But, as you can see, most people find it weird.

The reasons for why its happening may not be nefarious. [b]But the reasons DO NOT MATTER because it IS inappropriate[/b].[/quote]

No, it's not objectively so. That's just in your head, and your subjective opinion, don't treat it like fact or impose it on others.

Our culture is so paranoid to the point that even a normal/natural minor display of affection from the teacher to child is treated like some sort of affront. If my kid hugs a teacher, I want the teacher to hug them back, not sit there cold making my kid feel like "hey, this is weird" when it's not. If my kid has a rough day or a struggle and is crying and the teacher is trying to support them and cheer them up, of course I want them at some point to put their arm around their shoulder or give them a peck on the head, just like any other friend or caregiver would do. I DON'T want the teacher sending the message that normal non-sexual affection is somehow weird or bad by withholding it.[/quote]
