It all depends on how the person carries it. If it looks clean, no problem. But yes, it's different. The kids will have lots of comments. A good conversation starter! |

If I dont shave all my kids call me dirty and my VP makes shaving motions at me all day. Take that for what it's worth. |

in an age of immediate information, why would anyone make claims that they can't support? |

It was 85% and I see now that it has dropped to 76% according to one source (although this says 78%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_the_United_States )
Less Americans may be Christian than before; however, the fact remains that most Americans are Christian. |

The figure was irrelevant. Even 58% (from your link) is enough to support the posters point. He drew a valid analogy to the argument that historically Koreans had beards and hence their famous historical figures had beards. |

OP, if your husband likes his beard, then he should keep it in the photo you send out. Some schools will not offer him a job, but those are the same schools that will also fire him later because the moms don't like him for some other reason. Unless you are desperate to get a job tomorrow, then take a week or two to hear back from the jobs you applied for.
In general, schools want someone young and good looking, preferably a girl from America. This is particularly true of hogwans. If they can't get their ideal teacher, they'll settle for someone else. Better to take a job at a school that is going to value you more for your skills than for your appearance.
But if you need a job right away, then ya, it's better for your hubby to shave off his beard for a year. |
