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!) If it is not hurting themselves or anyone else then I do not feel it is a problem. It is a healthy way for students to express themselves and the holes will just close up when the student gets over their little phase. Just ignore it and promote individuality. Everything is going to be okay!
