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 believe that students with piercings and gauges should be viewed any differently than the other students. I feel like there should be a limit like with dress code. Perhaps only so may piercing are allowed and gauge sizes so can only be so large. I personally don't see an issue with any of it as long as the students are paying attention in class and aren't causing any kind of issue. They should be allowed to express themselves within reason.
