 Re: harassment by teachers

I think that having a window somewhere in the studio is desirable and have suggested it to stores where I teach. I feel fairly safe in that am in my mid-40's, always teach in schools and stores, and am not a touchy-feely person.

Most false accusations are going to come from students who are either angry about something, or who have some sort of mental/emotional problems. So this makes them the exception rather than the rule.

When I see that a student has some sort of learning or emotional disabilty, or something behavioral is going on that threatens to strain relations, I generally request that a parent sit in. This is not always the ideal situation, but it does allow parents to see how I operate. There are only a couple of things I do that would require me to touch a student or vice versa, and it's nice to have a parent present for that.

Just from what I've seen in my town, there's no substitute for an ounce of prevention. I don't know if a 100% no-touch policy would work, but a 98% one doesn't cramp my style at all. (Of course, I'm not dealing with small kids in need of hugs)
