She only means that teachers should have motherly affection. It is an eastern value that teachers are like parents not service providers. And they should be able to exercise the same rights and privileges. Why is deliberately trying to misunderstand what she said. I am especially surprised at Indians implying things about what she said. You have (or had) the same values in India; teachers were 'in the place of' parents. And uncles and aunts and even family friends kiss our children and no one frowns. In the West, obviously, you dont kiss someone else's kids because every incident there triggers drawing up of SOPs for appropriate conduct.
