[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 234601, member: 1991"] It is so sad that it has come to the point where teachers are not permitted to touch a student. It's just about at this point in Australia, too. I haven't checked what the rules are currently (I can ask, I am curious). I do remember when difficult child 3 was in K, he wanted to give his teacher a kiss and hug each day and she finally had to ask him to stop, because it really wasn't permitted. And yet it doesn't seem so very long ago that a teacher of easy child's (in Grade 4) was charged with assault for smacking a boy who had been isehaving; the teacher had witnesses to prove that he had the mother's permission, because after all he had been living with the mother at the time! She only had charges laid after they split up. The teacher was acquitted with the judge saying (at the time) that it was accepted practice for teachers to smack naughty students. Not these days.
