To clarify things: I teach girls in an Ulpana. The girls are 
always hugging one another. I am known to be a warm teacher 
always patting on the back; etc. The girls themselves come to 
hug ME when they see me in the summertime, and years 
after graduation!! However,  as a religious woman, if I had to 
teach boys, I'd have to be handcuffed!!!! (as we do not touch 
those of the opposite sex other than family members, even 
to shake hands,) and as a warm person I can not teach 
without respectful, acceptable warm contact! :)  I DO agree 
that teachers must be very careful when teaching pupils of the 
opposite sex, for even well-intentioned "touches" could be 
misinterpreted or, G-d forbid, used to falsely accuse a 
teacher of misconduct in revenge.
