In reply to the discussion: As a man let me apologize [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)7. they should have. i do not think it was a concerted effort to label sexual harassment. it was a
note in the file to differentiate it from the other discipline he had received for rough housing. i think they used an adult word as descriptive. i do not think it was any more than that. the kid was not given sexual harassment from the school. it was the mother that gave him that word. the school approached it in age appropriate terms of boundaries and unwanted touching. i really do not see the sexual harassment even as an issue. it was not a label. it will not follow the kids. just a note, in the report, to document.
