  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 do not think you have the right to tell someone that they cannot have piercings. If you do not like it, then that is your opinion. I do not think that going to administration is a good idea. As long as no one is getting pierced in the class, or playing with them, let it be. There are far more things to worry about in a classroom.
