    Mark in my elementary we are always having to "peel off the students'" that
    glom onto
    us in thier loving ways. Some of these are not receiving any loving touches
    at home
    and are starving for them and it hurts to push them away and then just pat
    them on the head. But I feel even women teachers can be "sued" for
    inappropriateness -
    some of the young men in fourth and fifth grade do not give innocent hugs and
    they
    are "bosom" heighth. Peel them off and pat on head or when being rushed at
    on the
    podium or hall stick out your hand for a handshake. Good luck. Roberta
