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?

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.

i would try not to stay after class/school and stuff with him. just to be safe.
and maybe inform your parents.
