Sir, you indulge yourself with oxymoron.

To use one of those old sayings, "YOU hit the nail on the head." Sure, it's okay to bitch about this stuff, but if we don't give the same amount of time or more to making our voices heard, en masse, then we might as well fly white flags in front of our homes.
There's another old saying. "Talk is cheap."
Some of these administrators and teachers need to be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail! Disgusting!!! This is what teachers unions have delivered to us, thugs with missions!
“...I admit that I would be uncomfortable if a young child put his head in my chest...”

It sounds like there is a problem, not the kid’s problem but YOUR problem!
“It almost is now, germs and all that”
I have noticed that too. Everyone “howie’s it” now. I am not adverse to shaking hands. It is still the polite way to greet someone. I do take issue with all the hand holding in Church lately. Nothing worse than sticky sweaty hands LOL!
The three children of my youngest daughter and her husband have always been very affectionate. Hugs and kisses when we all visit each other...the same when it's time to say "see you soon!". The youngest are identical twin boys. Such look-alikes that many in our family could not tell them apart.
Anyway, when these little guys, at ages 3, 4 and maybe 5, gave hugs and kisses, many's the time they landed on my backside. What did they know or care? You can imagine the laughs we had over that.
The perversion in this little boy's case lies with the accusers, IMO.
Why do I have a problem not to want a student (if I were a teacher) to put his face in my chest? I don’t think it’s an area of the teacher students should be touching. This little boy most likely did it innocently/inadvertanly giving his teacher a hug, so the lawsuit is ridiculous.
lol!! I wouldn’t care too much for holding hands in church, in fact, I would refuse to do it. Seems too New Ageish.
I have noticed that people who worry so much about germs and getting sick are always sick. I don’t worry and hardly ever get sick. I work outside all year around, don’t dress all that warm and don’t even get a cold. People worry themselves to death.
Get that principal away from boys ASAP.
My young cousins were the same way. They are getting older now, so they don’t hug much anymore. I know what you mean.
It is possible that children can be exposed to sex at a young age depending on their home life, but I didn’t get the feeling from this little boy based on his father. This sounds innocent, and the aide completely overreacted. If I were the father, I would find another school for my child. I wouldn’t send him back there.
The kid must have been playing “Motor Boat”.
Yes, its the other adults that I worry about, not the kid. (It warms the bottom of my heart that some kid other than my own feels comfortable enough to give me a hug!) But as I said, that’s tough if someone were to object.
Unless it was the child’s parent I would respect their wishes on that. But I doubt that would happen as I know all the parents too. And I’m not sure what I could do about it, its almost always the child that initiates the hug.
>> I’d say she is a future sex offender..Record her name..
She certainly doesn’t belong around children. It’s probably the first time any other human has ever ‘touched dos dings’.
What the hell is a 4 year old doing in the hands of an uptight loser anyway?
>> Hold it, I just figured this out, a 4 yr old kid rubs his face on the the breast of his teacher? How tall is this kid?
It could be a gravity issue.
LOL!
Apparently people in the education field have a very hard time understanding what sex is and isn’t. They also seem to be rather confused about who ought to be considered responsible for their actions adults or children.
Hey, If the teacher was boinking the kid it would be OK, but the kid touched her tit so they cannot acquit
I thought when a young student acted like this it was the duty of the school to show the boy how to put a condom on. /s
“The sweet kid was FOUR, not FOURTEEN!”
Heck, if he was fourteen he probably would have scored.
Sir, you indulge yourself with oxymoron.
