Hi~
Many years ago, when our wonderful MS principal retired, another teacher
and I fired up a video camera and, over several days, gave our 330 MS
students the opportunity to say, "syonara."
One trio of eighth grade girls came on camera and were typically
appreciative of Sue's leadership. They went on to say it was an unusual
experience to be in the "onsen" (public bath) with their principal (as
part of one of our extended campus trips to a remote locale without
showers). The girls went on to say how surprised they were to see that
their principal had a tattoo :-)
Best regards,

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] Librarian Tattoos
I got mine about a year ago--a 2" blue morpho butterfly on the front of
my
left shoulder. My students couldn't believe that their 50 something
librarian actually got a "real " tattoo. Our fine arts teacher has
several,
but somehow the librarian stereotype made them disbelieve my decoration.
I've had fun with it--I guess it makes me feel adventurous in a way that
breaks down the stuffy librarian stereotype.
