Very nice lesson and one so suitable for today's high school students. After seeing yet another teen-ager walk into my classroom with the requisite tattoos, piercings, and plugs, I think a lesson like this on the price and pain of beauty would be in order. Although the bound feet were a socially-accepted custom that caused permanent disfigurement, this lesson would start discussion. Some of the students might think about how they would get these tattoos off in ten years when they tire of them or how to close their ear lobes after they've been stretched out with plugs.
