Well, it is true that the English legal system does not promote the kind of aggressive litigation we sometimes experience hered. "Loser pays" seems to promote second thoughts!

This would never happen in modern litigious-society America, though.

Here, those in the teaching and administrative trenches suffer from too much projection of politically correct parents "out there" -- theoretical parents with too much politically correct angst and oversensitivity about touching, who don't know (and don't care about) the difference between healthy contact and sexual harrassment.

I'm guilty of it myself: I'd check myself into an insane asylum quick if I ever seriously considered having a group touching session in my classroom, even with the best of supervision. Administrators are preemptive out of fear of the ubiquitous lawsuit. This kind of stuff could get you fired anywhere I've ever taught, anyway.
