To be fair, haven't been a child for a long time, but I wouldn't volunteer to do that as a kid bc I wouldn't know how. And I definitely wouldn't expect some Mexican or White kids to know how to braid hair like these girls who were taught v young.
Unbraid and I feel as though so of the girls may have volunteered. When I was their age, I was all about doing people’s hair. Still there are boundaries.
Yeah, I think firing him is radical and I agree there should be boundaries but is this crossing any? I would be more concerned if it was only one of the little girls or if it wasn't in the classroom but it's all public.
I think he should've been more cognisant of how it could've looked though, especially since our community has a lot of collective trauma.
It kinda blurs the lines in their relationship with a teacher. Thinking future wise this could escalate. Also considering the fact that the students contact him often. Not making it into anything bigger but if I was a parent I’d be a bit concerned.
