So today I had to teach the 5 year olds. They're all sitting around me on the floor. Eventually one really tiny one in the back moves to the front so that he can pet my leg (I was wearing shorts). Then he decides to start rubbing his head up and down my shin. Yeah, cute. I finally put a stop to it when I noticed a big booger hanging out of his nose. I gently pushed him away and continued with the storybook. During the class I had many little hands grabbing at me, trying to high five me, etc.
I go to my next class and sit down only to immediately notice a dried up booger just above my knee. It had glued about 5 or 6 of my leg hairs together. I immediately tried to remove the booger, but it was too imbedded in the hair. I panicked. Finally I just reached down, grabbed the booger, and ripped it along with the hairs out of my leg.
I went home and thoroughly washed.

You let a child pet your leg?
You let a child rub his head up and down your leg, and only stopped him cause you noticed a booger coming out of his nose? How long would you have let him rub his head on you if he didn't have a booger?

Weird!

At the rate I'm getting sick...yes!

It is socially responsible to teach them what inappropriate behaviour is. I would put - rubbing my head against the leg of an authority figure - pretty high up there.

Touching your leg to feel what it's like is one thing, but as OP said, it went on, and then progressed to a child rubbing his head on his leg. I would have let the child get the kick of knowing what a hairy leg (or arm, as they did many times) feels like and then called a halt to it.
The OP only stopped the child because there was a booger involved.

My opinion. Poor judgement. Nothing more.

You're a joke. Nothing more.

I didn't say it went on. You have no idea how many seconds it went on for. For you even to make a moral issue out of this is ridiculous and shows you have huge self esteem problems. Lighten up you loser. Enjoy the laugh that another teacher ended up with a booger on his leg. Get a personality Mr. Professional Teacher. Man it sucks to be you.
