Teacher in France Says Tattoos Cost Him Kindergarten Teaching Job
New York Post ^ | 9/28

A schoolteacher whose body, face and tongue are covered in tattoos and who has had the whites of his eyes surgically turned black said he was prevented from teaching at a French kindergarten after a parent complained he scared their child.

But the teacher, Sylvain Helaine, 35, still teaches children from the age of 6 up and said that after an initial shock when they see him for the first time, his pupils see past his appearance.

“All of my students and their parents were always cool with me because basically they knew me,” said Helaine, who estimated he has spent around 460 hours under the tattooists’ needle.

Psychologists have developed something called “The cooperative eye hypothesis” which in particularly for humans but also for some advanced primates, means we watch eye movement, particularly relative to the sclera (the whites) for non-verbal cues - instead of head or body movement as other animals do.

The theory is that by following another’s eye movements, it is easier to know intent, vs. trying to divine head or body movements (as animals do), thus allowing for more social cooperation.

so if it wasn’t obvious anyway, this person has purposefully made himself untrustworthy and anti-social according many human unconscious behaviors.

Some of us got the reference. But then we were taught REAL HISTORY back in the Dark Ages.

the first requirement for teaching kindergarteners is that you don’t terrify them.

For me, the really frightening aspect of this man is that he hates himself and lacks any self control whatsoever. He is capable of doing anything.

Those are some pretty extreme body mods. That's not some cheap stuff either...

As long as he doesn't vote Socialist or have an unnatural attracting to the kids he teaches...

Meh...

No sane person would allow this “man” within 100 yards of their kid!

I’d run his ass off at first sight!

He doesn’t even look human anymore. This is someone fully unaccepting of himself as he was naturally intended to be.
