Well people will try to tell you that you can present yourself to the public anyway they want and you should not judge them. But honestly the choices you make through out life define what type of person you are... even if you did not start out that way and may have evolved.
But nobody can tell you that you don't have the right to make your own judgement on a person... its just a matter of how you act on it.
Tear drop Tats mean you have spent time in prison. That's literally what it means... and it also means that you thought it was a good idea on some point in your life to display it as point of pride or shame to the public.
That is not something I would want a child to feel is a good thing to take pride in... but that problem is you don't really know the intent behind displaying it without asking... then you have a teacher explaining their prison time to a child. I would not want my kid to see them as a role model then think going to prison is cool because their teacher was a in prison.
Now that said, if they had committed a serious crime, then they would not be allowed to teach. So this person is probably not a serious felon. But you have the right to judge them based upon how they chose to present themselves in public.

If the quality of teaching and ability to provide support to pupils is spot on, does it really matter.
a friend has spider web tattoos, he is a special needs teacher and has worked all through lockdown and Covid with our much time off, he was vaccinated early, bought a fair bit of tech gear (supplied at mates rates) to help with any distance learning.
Oh and he’s ex 2 Parachute Regiment.
Yes, it would bother me. Risking to sound unfair, the ugly truth is that even if tattoos have this cool image these days, they still remind us only inmates and gang members had them in the past. Unfortunately, in a professional environment this passes the wrong idea and unsettles parents who trust their kid's character to be built by teachers.
If you like tattoos, at least don't ink your damn face.
I'm not a fan of facial tattoos but if he is a good teacher I would not have a problem with it as good dedicated teachers are hard to come across these days.

That's ridiculous. You can't judge a person based on tattoos as much as you'd want to due to its murky history.
Meanwhile, the teacher secretly in an inappropriate relationship with your teen boy is the sweet looking female teacher who everyone thought was the pinnacle of society. So many female teachers have been caught in underage relationships yet they were trusted.
Some of the worst folks have been the wonderful next door neighbor. And some of the nicest folks have been the ones all tattooed, riding motorcycles.I would i come from the life of poverty and i had to make a 100% change to how i respond, how i carry myself and very many things and as a grown man teaching kids you should not represent yourself as a rebel or old school gangster in anyway, he should have got the tatts lasered from his face. A neck tattoo is iffy but face tatts are a no. Society frowns upon that and you don't wanna teach kids its ok or they won't find good respectable jobs or be taken serious in a business world & most job market settings Unless your already rich & came from money.

the one teacher that we as a class, got fired from middle school for being creepy AF and borderline predator... was against tattoos, piercings and such...
but yeah, besides... that, there would be certain and very specific tattoos I would have a problem with So if he got those in prison that doesn't bother you? So a guy covered in MS 13 or Aryan Brotherhood tats teaching at a school isn't an issue? I had a teacher who wore long sleeves every day. One day rhe AC broke and school and he had to roll up hia sleeves after revealing an Undertaker cross in his forearm. I never took him seriously again after that. Rhe respect just evaporated. Tattoos imho are for people who lack maturity or uave mental health issues. If you want a picture then frame it and put it on a wall. 🙄
Yeah. The rule of thumb is that if you're going to work in a professional environment, you wear clothes that cover up any tats. People who can't even avoid getting ink in places you can't cover up don't belong in positions that require interaction with the public.
If the teacher were actually teaching my child and he/she isn't trying to not take advantage of my kid and the other students, I won't be bothered if my children teacher had a tear drop tattoo or any other tattoo.
But if my kids is getting issues from the teacher or if I find out the teacher aren't doing their actual job than yes it will be a problem in my book.I don't like tattoos in general, so it bothers me that way. As far as being a teacher, it's like anywhere else. It's so common now and teachers seem to be getting younger and younger, that to me it's "expected" that there will be some. And the schools can't do a lot about it or it's discrimination. Other than ask them to cover what can be covered.
its a sign they have no direction in life and value "looking groovy" over getting ahead in life and having financial security. they eliminated a good portion of potential life partners from their. I don't want a moron teaching my kids. This is why you can't send your kids to public school anymore. Ideally I don't want anyone who was raised by a single mom being a teacher
Tattoos on the face and neck bother me but on anywhere else, I don't care. I think tattoos look cool. Tattoos anywhere wouldn't affect my opinion on whether or not they're a good teacher, the two things are unrelated.
I work in a school people some people got offended by my rainbow be kind picture …. get over it. A lot of staff members are tatted up arm and leg wise and yes we can wear short sleeve it’s 2022 . We can also keep face piercings in ….🤷🏽♀️
Well, doesn’t that tattoo have some gang meanings?
The tattoos matter if they mean something negative, violent, gang-affiliated, etc.
Otherwise, it’s all good.I wouldn’t mind tattoos on my child’s teacher as long as they are not offensive and also any on the face that resembles a tear drop.
The teardrop is a gang insignia so yeah that might bother me
Yeah it might, that’s kind of strange for a teacher because the tear drop means he killed someone
Depending on exactly what the tattoos were might or might not bother me. Some tattoos indicate gang membership which is of concern.
Being covered in tattoos is fine, except a tear drop means he attempted murder or a all black tear drop means he murdered.
Depends on what the tattoos are. Stereotypes exist for a reason, and if the stereotype didn’t apply to that individual, then I wouldn’t care.
I don’t have kids, but my expectations for public educational institutions are so low as it is. So if that were the worst thing, then no, I wouldn’t be phased in the slightest.
Tattoos in general aren’t an issue. A teacher having a teardrop under their eye is though. Any tattoos directly on the face are stupid in my opinion. To each their own, but there’s certain tattoos that certain jobs shouldn’t have.
you understand a tear drop usually signifies that they’ve killed people right? 😂
