Case: Piercings and Gauges
Within the past couple of years, there has been an increase in students that have many different facial piercings along with gauges in their ears and other areas of their face. As a teacher, I find this distracting and disturbing. I understand that students are simply trying to express themselves. However, I feel as if this is not appropriate for school purposes. What are some ways I can appropriately present this to an administrator without coming across as being close-minded?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As long as the students aren't playing with piercing and gauges and detracting themselves or other students from curriculum their is not much you can do. If students are, then that is a perfect thing you can bring up when presenting your concern to an administrator. |

Comments: I think the whole reason that this is a tough situation is because there haven't been any incidents where students are blatantly distracting others in class with their piercings, but that still does not mean that it isn't distracting others. |

Comments: Students should be allowed freedom of expression. This solution is appropriate in the event that the piercings are toyed with and keep the student from learning. |

Comments: I agree that this is a good solution. As long as the students aren't actually hurting their peers or anything relating to that, then there is no harm. If it is distracting, they can always have the option of moving to the back of the classroom or something small like that but other than that, there isn't anything to be discouraged about. |

Comments: I agree that as long as they are not playing with them and they are not distracting then they should be left alone. If they are then the teacher should speak to the student one-on-one. If that does not help parent contact should be made, and then finally administration should be involved. |
