Good point Perna. A teachable moment could well have been lost if the discussion about what was inappropriate didn't include a discussion about what is appropriate. Children this age don't know what they are saying and it would be useful to dig a little deeper to find out his intentions. Getting a girls attention or the crowds attention and learning better ways of doing either would be a good teaching point for the whole class.
I am sorry Lynn your daughter was at the centre of this story. Hopefully things will settle down now.
