I don't know. I think kids that age would think it's neat. I don't think it damages them or anything. I really don't know, though. I'm not a parent yet. Maybe I'll feel differently when I am.

I had a girlfriend once who wanted a tatoo and asked me if I thought it would be sexy.
I said "Yeah, sorta like a zit!"
She didn't get the tatoo.

I've got several tattoos. None visible when wearing a T-shirt. And I don't think it's appropriate to have an entire public school lesson plan around this.
As noted, this is a permanent thing. My own tattoos carry personal meaning to me; I did not get them so as to create public artifices to pander to an audience of four year olds. I think the teacher and especially the administration are barking nuts here.

I'd agree. These may be poor parents who don't have much choice also.

This teacher's tattoo has exactly *what* to do with Education?
This teacher obviously has far too much time on her hands.

This is obviously anti-semitic. No Jewish burials for her pupils. ':^0
Of course, I'm not serious, but I'm not Jewish.
To: MRMEAN
Wow. My jaw just dropped. This is SO not appropriate as a lesson plan for four-year-olds! There is a huge difference between a teacher simply having a tattoo, and having a whole lesson plan structured around exactly how one acquires a tattoo. My kid would be OUT of that class stat.

You never can tell what people will think about their kids being exposed to certain things. I found that a number of things took on a new status when I had kids.
All of a sudden those really funny off-color things in kids movies weren't quite so funny anymore. Advertisements that sought to exploit kids desires started to rub me the wrong way, and if sexual enuendo was included it really made me angry.
Take care.

Not really as interesting as the teacher seems to think it is...also, the kids are too young to even understand it from an anthropological angle, Maori, Samoans, etc.

It seems to be more about HER than teaching the kids abc's and 123's.

Teaching preschoolers about the wonders of body mutilation is entirely inappropriate.

I cannot tell you how many young ladies I see running around with 'tramp stamp' tatoos on their lower backs. You see them easily when they are wearing hip cut pants. I have a very good friend whose daughter got two tatoos, one over each dimple. I cannot bring myself to tell her what the term really means...
