Students may no longer wear mouth jewelry known as "grills"



Students may no longer wear mouth jewelry known as "grills" - shiny teeth caps - or the earlobe-stretching practice known as "gauging."
"The district is having to respond to fads because they've become distracters or a safety hazard for those around them," said Malcolm Turner, the district's executive director of student services.
The nearby Irving, Grand Prairie and DeSoto districts also ban grills, and some also address gauging - the process of placing increasingly large items in the ears to stretch the lobes.
But students said the body modification is simply self-expression.
"Really, a grill is just like an earring. It's fashion," said Devonte Wright, 16.

But school officials said they hoped to teach students that life would require them to follow specific regulations in specific settings.

"We want to instil in them a sense of modesty and a sense of community," said school board trustee Gloria Pena. "We're preparing them for the workforce, and in the workforce there are rules."

Everybody thinks it's cute to be ghetto when it isn't. That's why I'm moving out of this damn city. The people here get on my nervous system.

i think he/she/it's talking about the gauging. when you take the huge ass gauge out of your ear, you'll still have a huge flabby hole hanging there.

i think that would be more distracting than the gauge itself.



on a side note, i once met a guy who had a piercing like that. He had a hollow piece in it and stick a daisy through it. it was cute.

i can't see your avatar on this computer and i don't ever recall seeing you before shrug

besides i've been on the org for five years under two different names. people always tend to think that i'm a guy regardless of my username or avatar. shrug

it doesn't really matter all too much especially considering it is very easy for people to disguise their gender on the internet. it's not like real life or anything.
