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!) This is a difficult situation as you wouldn't want to potentially insult the students in any way for presenting themselves in a way they want to that is not directly harming others. I would not directly address this to the students however, I might talk to the principal or any other school staff concerns and maybe possibly implementing new rules.
