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 wouldn't say this is an issue. If there is nothing in place for this already then this isn't something that is distracting. If they're playing with their piercings then simply ask them to stop.
