I found this in the midst of teaching a Photoshop class. I can understand the option, but I would think the default would be to move the selection not the layer itself. I just have students deselect this option as a matter of course.

If you don’t see it, open it by choosing Window > Control (or Options, depending on version of Photoshop). You will see the option to AUTO SELECT - uncheck this. This is, apparently, turned on by default. It will select the entire layer. Just deselect and everything should be back to normal.
