[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach kindergarten and have students twerk. They copy whatever they see on TikTok, IG, YouTube, etc. Sone of them come to school wearing very inappropriate clothing too. They have fake nails. So many of the girls seek validation that they look good. “Aren’t my nails beautiful?” It’s sad. [/quote]

What is inappropriate about fake nails? They’re cute, fun, and make the kids feel great.

My kid could care less about nails, as they get in her way. One of her slightly older friends has a mom who was an aesthetician and she always has the cutest nails. My kid, on the flip side, loves to color her hair. So I won’t bleach it because I don’t want to damage it, but I don’t care about whatever color she wants to do it in. This is her time to figure who she is out and none of it does her or anyone else any harm. I also don’t police her clothes. She’s kind of partial to the Billie Eilish big baggy look, but as long as it’s clean, in good repair, appropriate to season as far as her not being cold or overheating, and it’s not a special event that requires a certain costume, why do I need to tell her what makes her happy and comfortable in her skin?

For one, they can’t write with them. Two, they are a huge distraction. Third, they aren’t safe. One girl poked another one in the eye when she was fooling around. [/quote]
