I work as a substitute teacher (grades prek-6th) and have had no
problems so far. A few of the teachers have asked about it or have
known something about it, and the kids love it. The prinicpal
mentioned it once in passing, but in a rather neutral way. Parents
I've met seem to know me mainly through my hands ("My daughter talks
about the henna all the time") rather than through my ability to
teach (though that does get mentioned). At first I thought the henna
would distract the students, but once they see it, they don't seem to
notice it for the rest of the day.

I'm sure once I'm hired as a full time teacher, that will change. I
guess it will depend on the school system. (A middle school teacher
in one of the nearby school systems has a pierced nose . . .)
