[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I don't see her everyday so I don't know if she shows off her tatoos at school. I do know one of them might be kind of hard to hide. I also know that she wears that nose piercing everyday. I think that talking to my kid about my views on the inappropriateness of his teacher is not a good idea. I think that it is important to his success that I appear to be supportive of her. Regardless of my views, DC needs to respect her. I don't insist that people conform to my values. I'm not going to insist anything in this case. I just think it is poor judgment on her part and on the school. She is not some random person that DC sees out and about. [b]She is his teacher. Someone there to teach him academics and how to behave in the world.[/b] She is one of his primary role models. I just wonder if we should expect more since she has been given this role. [/quote] Exactly. She is there to teach him academics and how to behave in the world. What do her tattoos and piercing have to do with either?[/quote] Well, tattoos and piercings are anti-social and professional, so setting aside the distraction part of it, it also conveys a message that they're somewhat acceptable in polite society when, in fact, they will directly interfere with career advancement later in life if the child emulates the teacher. So, I do understand OP's issues. You simply don't see tatoos in the board room.[/quote] I was in a very high-level meeting a couple of weeks ago and one woman was sporting a killer neck tattoo. Is it my taste? No, but she's a highly intelligent and successful professional. Why do people focus so much on superficial things?[/quote]
