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!) I believe that there is hardly any course of action that can be taken about this subject. One might consider trying to get the rule changed so that teachers would not be allowed to have facial piercings, but that would hardly be conducive to a solution. Instead, one might advocate to allow students the same right to express themselves externally that teachers' have. Some might say that people judge based on appearance, but that is also an outdated practice that should fade out of existence. Instead, we should judge based on character alone. Our students should learn that there is more to a person than what appearance alone shows, and this may be the perfect first step.
