Case: Teacher, you bobbed my kid!!
As a teacher I would line up the students ( 5,6 year olds) up when transitioning to another place and "bob" them on the head.. (nicely) and sing a little bob song. The students thought it was funny and we enjoyed it daily. One morning a parent walks in and begins screaming and cursing at me. She said " My baby said you 'bobbed' her". After a meeting everything was cleared up, but I sure don't "bob" anymore. Honestly, I'm nervous to even touch the children, they are young and some children do need to have a lovely, appropriate touch but is it worth the risk?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
At the beginning of the year at open house i would demonstrate to the parents my way of transitioning during the way to get the students motivated for the next task or activity (i.e. show them the bop). I would ecplain that i am not bopping them hard or in anyway to harm them it its only a transitioning activity. If i did not recieve any complaints then i would again mention the "bopping" in the first weeks news letter and go from there. |

Comments: While I do think this is the best solution because it involves speaking to parents about it before it even occurs, I think it might be better for this teacher to find a new way to perform this activity. It sounds like something that could easily be misunderstood as aggressive to a student and might be better to be avoided. |
