I read a blog today by a writer only known as Mystery Teacher. The subheading What the world needs now is love, sweet love was listed under a title called Mysterious Teaching. In this blog a teacher reminisced about how it used to be acceptable to hug a student who initiated a hug. She says that since it has been deemed politically incorrect, the children who need the hugs have not disappeared though. She sites how parents’ love now a days is shown by the showering of game systems instead of with guidance, insistence on obeying rules and necessary consequences when rules are broken. She noted that a child should always be assured of her parent(s) unconditional love. I find that I agree with her and I appreciate parents who are willing to give my decisions in my classroom the benefit of the doubt before automatically siding with their child.
