And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Exactly, that's why I said "I don't think it's very professional, though that's probably just old-fashioned prejudices." Really I don't know why I think of it that way, except that's how I was raised (well, my parents taught me not to care whether people had tattoos or not (or earrings, dyed hair, etc.), but it just wasn't present in our family). Didn't mean to offend. But I don't think tattoos should be a factor in choosing a teacher, because teachers can be good or bad regardless.buddhu wrote:Why, if I were a teacher, would any of that make any difference? Why would it be unprofessional? How does that work? Is it unprofessional to teach without wearing a tie? Were there no professional teachers before ties were invented?
What matters in a teacher is whether they are a good person and a good teacher - and what they teach.

Good point.
Personally, I see tattoos being closer to make-up than to cosmetic surgery, with piercings being somewhere between the two, but closer to tattoos than to CS.
All very subjective judgments, I'm sure.
By the way, I am afraid of that picture.

Personally, I like the idea of a dress code for teachers and with the exception of the hands and face, most tattoos would not be visible.
I somehow doubt that this guy wants a teaching job.

I don't see why you would need rules covering plastic surgery, even if you thought that someone who looked like MJ would be unsuitable as a teacher, which I don't. Kids can be very cruel and would mock someone who'd had bad plastic surgery mercilessly. People like that would surely elect not to teach.
Boy, MJs anorexic nose really creeps me out. Sometimes plastic surgeons should just say no.

Interesting. I just saw an ad for a game show which reminded me of this thread.
Here's an article about it:

Rhetorical question. Don't answer or we'll be toying with psychology.

Cran, where did you find the Euro? I scoured my laptop keyboard for it and drew a blank.
You effectively completed my post for me. Thank you.
