  Case: Teacher Cleavage
There is a teacher at my school that is constantly wearing low cut shirts. She is a fourth grade teacher which is the age when students are starting to notice things like this. The administration has not said anything to her and this has been going on for several years now. The other teachers talk about it, but will not saying anything about it. My son will most likely be in her class next year and I would like to bring it to her attention but I do not know if I should. What would be the appropriate way to bring this up?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a situation where you should have an administrator handle it. To many things could be misunderstood which could turn this into a serious problem.

Comments: I liked this solution, because it offers how it is sensitive situations such as these that one can be misunderstood and feel attack. When in reality a teacher is just concerned about dress code and effect on students. So, this clearly is a issue that is no appropriate for a colleague to address, but the administration.

Comments: The solution is respectful to the other teacher involved as no other people are getting involved which could further embarrass or upset the individual additionally having administration involved will assist the teacher to understand the concerns of others in a way that will not come off wrongly if you were to attempt to handle the situation.
