Middle School Teacher Project

Alright, so i teach at a middle school and I have had this idea for a while and I'm looking for some ideas. This summer I want to create a poster related to diversity. Basically the idea was based on the book XXX by the photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. The idea was to have pictures of people showing different sides of themselve. For example my cousin Tony is going to have a picture of himself dressed in his Correctional officer uniform and then a picture of him just chilling in the summer. I'm going to do my normal work dress(pants, tie, etc) and then a causal picture. So I'm looking for some ladies and I thought, how about SG? Maybe a picture of you at work/unform and then a causal pic tattoos and all. I don't know, just thinking outloud really. The final project would be a poster I would display in my classroom with the message of not judging people by the way they look. remember its for a middle school classroom (8th grade) so nudity is doesn't work

If anything maybe people could just post some pictures ( I won't use any thing without your consent of course) but it would be cool just see the duality of people.

Once it hit the internet, I'd probably write it up as an article for the Newswire, that's what!

I'm guessing you don't teach English. Phys Ed, maybe?

*dies laughing*

Alright, ouch...tough room I'll proofread better next time sorry. As far as the porn thing, I'm asking for pictures from the sets, or picture that are sugguestive in anyway...sorry I even brought it up...wow...I'm using my picture in it, and I'm a member? Is that wrong? You make it sound like I'm going to take a few pics from a set and put them up in my classroom. Its a little myopic to think I would post porn in a classroom or that everything that comes from SG must be dirty. I didn't know that simply belonging to SG pigeon-holed you as an "evil" or "inappropriate" person.

All kidding aside, a lot of people who post pics on this site probably aren't comfortable with the idea of having a bunch of school kids see them. I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I know I wouldn't want minors seeing some pictures I've posted on here.

Except this one:

And no, you can't use it. Sorry.

Again, I will clarify, I don't want pictures of people that would necessarily be posted on this site. For example, the idea is that having tats, piercings, etc, doesn't define you as a person. So a picture of someone wearing their business attire from the office they work in and then a picture of them juggling, sleeve tats exposed in a t-shirt and shorts is interesting for kids. At that age they tend to think of adults and all others students in one dimension(skater, prep, teacher, secretary) So its just interesting. ANYWAY, with that said, I withdraw my request. I have no interest in pictures for my project, I'll use the ones I have from my friends, etc. I still think its interesting to post pictures representing different of your persona.

Or what if one of the kids recognizes her because he sneaks onto his older brother's or dad's computer to fap. Then it starts getting whispered around and blown out of proportion. Next thing you know, instead of it being reported to the administration that you have fully-clothed pics of girls who also do porn modeling, a parent over-hears his kid talking and thinks you have full-on spread-teh-leg posters hanging up in your classroom.

Thank you for your response, and I do understand what you are saying. I wouldn't use someone like Nixon for that very reason (although, I'm not sure I would define her as a "porn girl") I do understand what you are saying, I think I was thinking of more of asking the SG community, people like myself that wouldn't be recognized. No I wouldn't use Jenna Jameson, etc. But I do have a poster of Ms Monroe on my wall . Its a head shot, but I've never had a complaint about it. Again, I'm playing devil's advocate too ,I understand what you are saying. That reminds me though, I should put up that poster of Ron Jeremy I have. He has a master's degree in special education, and thats more than I have right now.

PS I'm sorry I called you myopic, that was a knee jerk response. I didn't mean to be so hostile

thanks for figuring out my post, yeah, I left out the "not" sorry, I have a Apple probook and the keyboard is not quite as big as what I'm used to.

you know guys, he paid for this site. he paid full price.

JROTC?

I assumed when he talked about causal pictures, he meant pictures that made things happen!

I know when I look at pictures on SG, it makes things happen...

Jessus Crist, I didn't know that I wuz going to bee atacked by the speling police. Yeah, it concerns me terribly also that there are teachers out there who can't spell? Is that really on your list of concerns? Actually, I've been plagued my entire life with the inability to spell "casual". Its really my only flaw. Well, that and not being very foresightful. That is something I have been working on. Someday I hope I can conquer both of these terrible obstacles in my life. I am "nice" though, and so far that has gotten me pretty far.

Yes. Also, teachers who use the term "forsightful".

Coaching football while ostensibly "teaching" technical drawing?

Actually, our official organization is titled Grammar Nazi Local 24601.

Yes, we do tend to be snarky when it comes to spelling and grammar errors on here. Download and install Mozilla Firefox, it has a spell-check function incorporated in its browser. Though, if you're a teacher, you shouldn't need one.
