She is very well spoken, well educated, and experienced, but she has multiple tattoos that are visible. Should the tattoos eliminate her from the job since she will be teaching in an elementary setting? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Having tattoos should not be the ultimate decision in whether or not a very qualified teacher should be instructing children. Unless the tattoos are inappropriate or offensive, they shouldn't have to be covered up during work as well. Odds are students have parents who have tattoos and are okay with them. I also believe that the teacher should have covered their tattoos during the interview in order to avoid questions like this.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with this answer up until the point at which you say she should have covered the tattoo during the interview. I think it is better that she was honest and open and left them uncovered rather than letting this issue come up after she is already hired. I would not cover up my tattoos for an interview, personally. Rated On: October 16, 2016 1:34 am Rated By: uvuVas
