Case: Overly Touchy ESOL Student
I have a student in my 1st grade class who is very sweet and willing to learn. He is an ESOL student who has not even been in the United States for a year. The teacher I am working with has had an issue with this student crossing the lines with many rules (getting up out of his seat without asking, running in line, etc.) because every other adult at the school doesn't feel they should correct him because he "won't understand." This is not the case. However, because this little boy has been able to get away with so much, he has now taken to getting a little too friendly with some of the young ladies in the classroom--nothing inappropriate, but we will often find him petting their hair while we are sitting on the carpet, he will hug them, and he gets very close to their face when he says hello to them in the morning. Some of these girls do not welcome this affection. Any suggestions on steps that should be taken?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A common rule in the classroom is usually "No (intentionally) touching." It is a helpful rule for the whole class if implemented carefully so the students do not blow it out of proportion. While he may be from a culture that has smaller personal spaces, his behavior is definitely still an undesired one and should be treated as such. |

| Comments: I agree that the student should receive some training as to what is acceptable in the classroom. I think this also requires strategies for making the lesson comprehensible. If we don't teach what the child might not understand then we leave ESOL students without an education. The teacher should model appropriate behavior using different mediums for helping all children understand expectations/procedures. Eventually, a conference with the parents may be necessary so that they can back up the teacher by explaining appropriate personal space behavior to the child. |
