The act of announcing You forgot the first definition: March 25 observed as a church festival in commemoration of the announcement of the Incarnation to the Virgin Mary. Thanks for the hilarious mental image of the angel Gabriel appearing to a tattooed and pierced woman to tell her she will bear the Saviour! Hehe. |

Have any of you faced a teacher, preschool or otherwise that dressed inappropriately? Recently, I experienced a situation with "teachers" (they were actually college students doing a summer intern-job) that wore low ride, cotton, white, mini skirts, with no slips (do people still wear slips?). One has a tongue stud. Both wore shirts with their belly buttons exposed. DD was in a daycare where the teachers may have been dressed "inappropriately" according to your definition. Her favorite teacher had her eyebrow pierced and she was told by corporate offices to put a bandaid on it when they found out. So, she put a bright neon pink bandaid on it (the director may have given it to her). What I saw was a caring, intelligent woman who was good with toddlers and preschoolers. The pierced eyebrow was pretty much equivalent a non-issue. That said, it's up to you whether or not having appropriately dressed teachers is important enough to you to switch daycare or not.

It *is* kind of silly to judge someone based on appearance. Especially for something that's becoming so common, such as piercings and tattoos. It would never occur to me to question someone's abilities or professionalism because of what they wear, either. Marie |

I'm sorry I called you a troll. There's always an upsurge in them at this time of year, but you don't seem to be one. |

One has a tongue stud. Both wore shirts with their belly buttons exposed. Yep. At my dd's preschool the "Stay and Play" gals all dressed this way. They're not "teachers", but they are the daycare workers. It never occurred to me to be bothered by it, as they're great with all the kids, and that is what I feel is important, not how they're dressed. It is a delicate situation in that I am related to the owner. I did say something to the owner, but then let the subject die. I can say that husband is eager to drive my daughters to the school! So, are you insecure? I wouldn't be bothered by my husband looking at the gals at our school. In a previous preschool, the teachers had tattoos, but they covered them up. I have a tattoo as well, but if I was in a professional situation, I would cover it up. So, you can find another preschool or whatever. Nan |

However, both of my daughters got their toungues pierced as soon as they could approve it themselves (and, I might add, pay for it.) For the first couple of days I asked them to not talk to me, because I was thoroughly grossed out. However, once the initial swelling goes down, the toungue piercing does not create problems with enunciation. (I STILL don't like it, and it DOES cause problems for dental health, but their speech is not affected.) (And they've both gotten jobs where they don't have to remove the tongue studs at work -- though they both have enough brains to have removed them when they went in for job interviews.) -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |

(And they've both gotten jobs where they don't have to remove the tongue studs at work -- though they both have enough brains to have removed them when they went in for job interviews.) You know, I consider myself as being fairly open minded about things like tattoos and body piercings. I even secretly feel that my DD12 would look smashing with a tiny eyebrow stud (she's got beautiful eyes). I also understand that such fashions can be a cultural and self-expression thing. And I don't consider myself a prude either. But the tongue piercing thing bothers me to no end! If my DD's came home with one, I'd be seriously worried. Because, to my knowledge, the tongue piercing is not meant for fashion. It's meant as an aid for performing oral sex. From what I gather, those that wear it outside the bedroom, are conveying their interest and skill in this activity. Now, if a person finds a tongue stud useful in their private sexual practices, that's no sweat off my brow - enjoy. But to wear it outside of the bedroom and walk around in public? Uh uh. I'd be questioning whether my DD's had any self esteem, and whether they were getting involved in questionable sexual activities that would further erode that self esteem, and possibly put their health and lives in danger. Or, maybe they were innocently unaware about what the stud meant, in which case, I'd educate them. Am I being too melodramatic here? Am I missing something? And, most importantly, am I doomed to have my girls get tongue studs because it's the one thing that would accomplish shock value for me? :-) jen |
