[quote=Anonymous]Actually, my father had a small tattoo on his hand (from his youthful days...) and he spent many days in a Board room for his whole career as a very successful VP of a large corporation SO....I guess you can see some tattoos in the Board room. OP - would you have a problem with some other aspect of your teacher's appearance? If she were morbidly obese - arguably socially unacceptable by your definitions - would you have a problem with her? How about extremely religious - a head scarf, long skirt and other coverings to indicate an orthodox view of religion - would you be concerned about your child seeing this on his teacher? A teacher's appearance is no more your business than your own appearance is his/her business. Don't allow your own prejudices (and that's what they are, OP) to interfere with what could turn out to be your child's best teacher. My son had a 2nd grade teacher who had a tattoo on her back and had a very bohemian style. She did not "flaunt" the tattoo at all, but the kids knew it was there. She was hands-down the best teacher he has had so far. If the topic of the best teacher comes up he (and the other kids in his grade) always mentions her. She had a way of encouraging the kids and making learning fun. Also, think about it - wouldn't you rather have a teacher with a tattoo and nose piercing who was incredible over a teacher who dressed perfectly but was burned out and lacking in the skills department.[/quote]
