Teachers with Tattoos

[Anonymous]

Once DC had a team taught class with a teacher, young woman, early 20's, that had red/blue colored tattoos on her arms and forearms.

I could never get past this.

I just kept thinking that if someone's judgement is so off as to obliterate their natural body with superficial colors, that are permanent, that they wouldn't have good judgement in other parts of life.

Grew up in a culture that looked down on pride and taught people to be thankful for your natural beauty. so tattoos seem so wrong.

Fair or not, it identifies them of a certain educational and socioeconomic group. A few discreet one are fine. Sleeves or tramp stamps say sketchy.

Montgomery County Public Schools -- Wheaton, Watkins Mill, Whitman, Walter Johnson.

Stop trying to make this happen.

Right! So, are stuck-up parents like you in W schools ok with teachers having "educational tattoos"?

Fail! I am not a W school parent.

Which educational and socioeconomic group -- the group that has a lot of tattoos?

They become less blazingly obvious when you are around people who have them. I grew up thinking they were trashy and then went on to marry a man who grew up in a culture where they are the norm and he went on to play a professional sport where they were also the norm. They became oblivious to me after awhile so I wouldn't think anything of it now.

Yes, tattoos matter to me. I think they are low-class. I would hope it happened to be a one-time bad decision on the part of the teacher. I could ignore it then.

DC is so stodgy. My god, this thread is depressing.

Really? So if a teacher has a tattoo, but also has multiple degrees in education and is a good teacher, you care more about the tattoo than the actual quality of the teacher's work?

Haven't you heard? People with tattoos are of a "certain" educational and socio-economic group, as per another poster. And as we know, 1. people from one socio-economic group, not be named, cannot be trusted with our children and 2. a quality (educated) teacher with tattoos cannot be one and the same. And since there are some people who don't care for tattoos on their own bodies, ipso facto, tattoos are also a sign of poor decision making.

So there.
Rolling eyes.

I kind of have the same opinion. At my DD's Catholic school, I have never seen a tattoo so the teachers must not have them or must cover them up. (Most of them are middle-aged Catholic moms/teachers, so I would be surprised if they did have tattoos in the first place, but maybe some of them do / some of the younger ones do?) Anyway, I too was brought up to appreciate natural beauty and to appreciate the beautiful human body which was created the way God intended, so it seems counter-intuitive to mark up / befoul what Christ intended for us. Not a fan, personally.

^^ LOL. Christian rock bands are full of musicians with tattoos.
