God I hope the person with the weird-ass replies about you talking to kids realizes you're literally a teacher lmao
They almost certainly don’t. But honestly, being a teacher just means I have practice talking to kids all the time. It’s not what makes it OK for me to interact with children. This entire idea that adults and children must live in wholly separate spheres of society is just...not true? Like, adults need to be aware of HOW to interact with children in a way that is safe and kind and responsible. We have an obligation to act appropriately given the context of those interactions. But the solution to that isn’t “NEVER TALK TO A CHILD.”
