Exploring the complexities of physical touch in education, this book addresses the discomfort surrounding tactile interactions between PE teachers and students in a risk-averse environment. It examines the impact of a culture of accusation on the professional identity of educators. Through semi-structured interviews with PE staff, the findings are transformed into a fictional narrative that provokes thought about adult-child discomfort. By merging conventional empirical methods with alternative approaches, it highlights the nuances in communication and the hidden dynamics at play.
