Middle School Student Suspended For Hugging Teacher

Has she hugged the student or other students before? Was she really nice normally? I agree it seems odd for a middle schooler to just go up and hug as teacher under such circumstances. It might be appropriate on her birthday or as an apology. The only time I remember hugging any teachers was on the last day of school. There has to be more to the story, but we know how the media likes to fire everyone up.

Not to say it warrants a ten day suspension, but I can see how it would be taken as threatening, even if it wasn't forceful. It's certainly not appropriate behavior. Nevertheless, I have a feeling there's more to this story than meets the eye.

Another story I read described the fight as horseplay and the hug as forceful. I'm curious if this student is the the class clown type and was trying to make light of the situation. If this was the case a punishment for grabbing the teacher would be appropriate, however 10 days is still excessive.

More http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2012/04/12/middle-school-student-suspended-for-hugging-teacher/ Teachers are generally advised to do a one arm hug if a student hugs them, but I have never heard of students being punished for doing so. This teacher probably had the stories of the student/teacher relationship on her mind and over reacted. Or she's a feminist bitch that just hates males. Because she made a big issue of it, the school probably felt compelled to punish the student. Even still 10 days is way too harsh. When I was in school I never saw anyone get suspended for more than 3 days. I saw some get sent to the adapted learning campus, but that was because they continued to cause trouble. Something like this would never happen. I really feel bad for young people today.

Something has gone haywire in some of these schools and all I can do is sympathize with parents as they watch the world go wacko.
