  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 could try to get it removed but I do not think that the administration will be able to do much. One thing you can try in the classroom is making your class once a week a business attire lesson day. Meaning life skills are taught that day and they have to reflect what it means to look the part. I doubt that would work either as most students unless they are in ROTC, they will not comply willingly.
