[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. She is his teacher. Someone there to teach him academics and how to behave in the world. She is one of his primary role models. I just wonder if we should expect more since she has been given this role. [/quote]

Not everything she's done in her life has to be setting an example for your child. There's a girl who's been in DD's class each year since first grade who is Indian and has a nose ring. We've had lots of great talks about culture over the years. I was more offended by DD's 2nd grade teacher who treated all boys better than girls and kept touching my DD after she specifically asked not to be touched than by DD's 4th grade teacher who has a full sleeve.
