  Case: Piercings
Mrs. Gala is a high school teacher with 22 years at the same school. She has her nose pierced and although the piercing is discrete it is still noticeable. School policy is against facial jewelry for students, but does not have the same rule for faculty. Several students have argued that the rule is unjust because teachers are suppose to be role models. What course of action should take place if any?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that a good solution would be to try and talk with the principle about a petition. If Mrs. Gala wants to make it fair for all, I think they should try to change the rule for students. It would be awesome for a civics teacher, and that way the students would feel like their voices were being heard. With that being said, some schools do not permit this kind of change in rules. Just see what options are best, for I think all the students and teachers should be able to express themselves how they want.

Note: I am a teacher with a small nose piercing, a tongue piercing, and tattoos that are easily covered up.
