However, some of the students do not understand personal space. They will get very close when speaking to me or grab me. I don't mind it too much but was wondering if there are any solutions to this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would just continue to remind them by saying "personal space please" as they are getting too close to you. You could also use the term "personal bubble" to explain that everyone has a big bubble around them and we need to respect that space for everyone we talk to.
