What is the story of "the most terrifying teacher in the world": this is how they learn tolerance

Sylvain Helen was banned from working as a teacher for children under the age of six because of his appearance, which children find "terrifying", according to the British newspaper, "The Daily Star".

Sylvain, who has been a teacher for 10 years, covers the body and face of £52,000 worth of tattoos, mainly on the eyeballs and on the tongue.

Because of his appearance, he has been dubbed "the world's scariest teacher", and was banned from teaching children under six after a three-year-old had nightmares because of his appearance.

Sylvain works in Britain and France in educating young people, and believes that it is good for children to be taught by someone who looks because it helps "children who see me tolerant of others," commenting that when they become adults they become "less prone to racism, and accept others."

Sylvain believes he spent about 460 hours under the tattoo needle, and he also went to Switzerland for a serious eye operation that blinded him for several days afterward.

Eye tattoos - known as solid ink - are extremely risky and known to cause long-term health problems for people.
