English Teacher..normal behavir?


Question Posted Wednesday February 6 2008, 5:29 pm

Hmm..well...I have a question about the behavior of my English teacher.
He is a very..touchy person...He's quite old..I'd guess between 40 and 50, but really funny and nice, never gets pissed at students, so everyone loves him as an teacher. He's a very English type guy as well.
My question is that do you think it's ok if he goes to check what someone has written, and he sorta leans against them? Or like if someone asks a question, he goes over to them and usually has his hand on their back or shoulder..
and so on, like always quite close with the students.

I find it strange...I know that he's not a pervert or anything, but is it ok?

thanks.

He just wants his students to feel like he's actually listening to their problems. My english teacher does the same thing, it's to show us he's listening. He's also affectionate and concerned with his students.

If you feel uncomfortable about it then
step or pull back should he do it to you.
He could just a touchy feely type.

Its really sad that a lot of teachers are
now having to watch every single caring
touch they make. Not that there aren't
some real pervs out there, but they have
made it difficult for students to know the
difference.

I had a friend who stopped driving a bus
because she got in trouble for comforting
a little 5 year old who fell on the bus steps.
Comforting a child is now inappropriate.

So, if you don't feel comfortable then
don't allow it. Just be careful. Not all
touchy people are perverts. :)
