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 if there is a meeting where you are allowed to provide input, then I would try to propose a rule about limiting or hiding piercings and gauges while students are on campus. Maybe get some other teachers' inputs on the subject as well. Be careful not to overstep any boundaries or say anything inappropriately. I think that they can be distracting, some companies do not want their employees to have certain piercing or gauges when they work for them.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think it is important you focus on what your students do in school and not outside of it.
