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!) Following school policy is the way to go. Have a conversation with students who you might feel are being distracted by their piercings. Be open and honest and thorough when explaining any issues you might be seeing in the classroom to school administration and work together to find the best solution for the problem seen faced in the school.                 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: The best solution is to leave it alone. Focus on the lesson and not the small attributes of a single student in your classroom. Rated On: October 13, 2016 2:34 am Rated By: yneLaH
