Ds has just come home from nursery with...

[Geordieminx]

Eye liner from corners of both eyes to make him "look Chinese" for Chinese new year.

I think I feel a bit [puzzled] by this...

Any thoughts?

Oh dear.

epic fail for the cultural awareness link person! epic fail.

My DSs nursery painted dragons and did the red envelope thing

I'm surprised

Not only because it's weird to do that to the kids but because they might be allergic to eyeliner.

Yes, Chinese people do tend to have a different shape eye to Brits but why they couldn't just discuss that without the eyeliner is beyond me.

Sorry, it isn't very P.C. of me but that made me laugh! I could just picture it!
I think it made me laugh because it ie so awful!

What are your thoughts on it OP?

And wasn't that like 2 weeks ago anyway?

I will openly admit I'm not the most pc person at times

But I just found it bizarre?

I have been trying to do that with eyeliner for 30 years and never managed to get it right...

on top of everything else isn't sharing eyeliner an eye infection risk too? unless that brought 30 of the things.

Someone at nursery obviously didnt think this thing through I think..

Good point MrsT

How did they manage to get 30 or so eyeliners?

I mean given the fact conjunctivitis is normally rampant in schools anyway.

Do you think they might black him up on MLK day?

It's the thin end of the wedge.

I am sort of horrified and sort of laughing in a so wrong its almost funny way.

Big fat diversity fail from that teacher :)

Funnily enough they didn't come home with tattoes and stab wounds for Rabbie Burns day..

(Scottish nursery)

It was australia day recently............were you asked to send in a load of wine corks?
