It isn't just bad judgement or lack of boundaries. It's arrogance and elitism that makes teachers think that they, not parents, can make such decisions.
April 9, 2008 - Brandy Jumper, 33, a Frisco High School teacher is on paid administrative leave while the school investigates an accusation that she took a 17-year-old male student to get a tattoo.
State health codes prohibit a minor from getting a tattoo, even with parental permission, unless the tattoo is designed to cover up another tattoo deemed to be offensive by the parent or a court. State health officials are investigating the home where the boy got the tattoo.
