I took my future stepdaughter to her high school orientation a few weeks back. When we got to our designated area and as we were waiting in line I noticed that the student volunteer who was handing out our group's schedules had her ass hanging out of her pants, clearly displaying her lower back tattoo. In any other situation I'd be thinking something else, but in this particular one I was none too keen on having my future kid see this.
Once all the schedules were passed out the student got up to talk to the group, and as it turned out, she's not a student at all but a 22-year old math and art teacher at the school. Great. Not only is my kid going to be taught by someone just a couple of years older than her, but also someone who had the Transitive Property translated into vines and barbed wire and then branded directly over her pooper.
I mean, look... there's no way that stupid thing isn't going to be visible at some point in the school day, and if she was a student she'd be penalized for it. And I think in terms of dress and behavior on school grounds, teachers and students should be held to the same set of rules. The last thing I need as a parent is to get into an argument with my kid about why she can't get anything on her body ever and have the words "Well Ms. Ass Target, my math teacher, has one. And she's a teacher!"
Fast forward to this week: My bride had a parent-teacher conference with her the other day (about other issues) and at the end she brought up the teacher's skimpy clothes and exposed ass markings (as it had been noticed by the students who'd taken to singing some song about tattoos to her whenever they saw it).
The response by the school's Dean of Students was:
"Our county's school teachers do not have a dress code."
that was thoughtful of you
Answer: It depends how hot they are.

No Child’s Behind Left.
I have no problem with anyone having tattoos. I have two myself. My opinion is that if you are in a professional job, then keep them covered.
And since we can presume the tramp stamp was carefully centered, I guess we can also say:
No Child's Left Behind.
No good without pictures!
See, there's the problem. You don't take the issue to the Dean of Students, you take it to the School Board. Make it public and make it be known. If you don't like the school board's actions take it to the ballot box.
Our rule with our kids was nothing pierced, nothing tattooed and no hair colors that God doesn’t make hair. Violation of the rule would result in finances being cut off.
It delayed them long enough to get them out of college and into the world where they could FINALLY see that it might not be the smartest decision.
wow, “tramp stamp” right in the title.
The corporate world already institutes dress codes for employees.
Ass Antlers.
The tattoo’s not the problem, the butt-muffin pants are.
The ones that like to have sex with little boys should have the tramp stamp (most probably already do) so we can tell who they are.
They are becoming very popular with the woman. I see them everywhere walking the malls, parks, work, etc. I don’t think that the teacher should be wearing bare back stuff for school, but if they desire to wear it showing outside the classroom, I don’t have a problem with that.
It’s a free country.

Fair enough, but we are talking adult teachers here. I think it is great that you give your children boundries...if only more parents would do that, we would be better off!!!
Great Gogely Mogely!! Some of us are eating, you know!
