-I also thought you guys should know about this...I had a boy in my class
the last week who showed up with perfectly parallel burns on his neck.
It looked almost like a painted decoration like many of the kids wear.
When questioned about it, he said that he had been very sick and his
family had done it to make him better (and he certainly seemed to have
been feeling better than he had been). However, some people in the
school were in an uproar over this cultural remedy and the poor boy had
to wear a scarf around his neck for the rest of the week. I looked into
it further and it seems similar, if not the same, to a Southeast Asian
practice of "coin rubbing". Here is are some links to articles about it,
in case it ever happens in one of your classes. It's always good to be
informed about students' cultural practices.
