  Case: Piercings
Mrs. Gala is a high school teacher with 22 years at the same school. She has her nose pierced and although the piercing is discrete it is still noticeable. School policy is against facial jewelry for students, but does not have the same rule for faculty. Several students have argued that the rule is unjust because teachers are suppose to be role models. What course of action should take place if any?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If there is no rule for the faculty, then she should be fine. Teachers are adults and the students are not (unless they are 18-in which case, they should petition a rule change). I think the main issue with this is that teachers are role models, and just because she has a piercing does not make her a terrible person. In fact, she may be changing several students' mindsets because she does have a piercing. For instance, a "punk-rocker" type student with a lack of respect for authority may change her mind after being in this teachers class. It also reflects a diverse population of teachers and breaks away from the not-so great stereotype that has been created for us.
