  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!)
I think that you should present it just how you feel. I think that it should be a part of the dress code in the school system because it can be distracting to the instructors and to the students. You should state that you understand the students trying to express themselves, but some things are not appropriate for school.

Comments: I do not think the dress code will change on one teacher's feelings, if it is not a distraction and it is within the dress code then you can address it with the administration when they are reviewing the dress code policy.
