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!) I would look into the school dress code and see what the school says about piercings. I would try and talk with members on your team and see if they have any suggestions or what they have been doing in their classrooms with these students. After talking with my team members and seeing what the dress code is then, I would try and see what the administrators have to say on the topic.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: It's a good idea to speak to administrators about concerns, but I do not think this is a good or reasonable concern.
