I am not sure how to handle some of the students in my class. It seems that they take turns wearing the same offensive t shirts that they know is not appropriate for school. I have explained it to them numerous times and now will have to call their parents to come in and talk about the matter. I understand that the kids think that these kinds of funny t shirts are a great way to express themselves. I just do not think that they are thinking through what getting expelled would do for their future.

After calling two of the parents of the students, I can see that I am going to get nowhere. The first set of parents both came in wearing offensive t shirts, and I guess that they sell them in their store. Since they get them at cost, it is a cheap t shirt for them to buy for their son. The second set of parents told me that times have changed and that I should just look past the funny t shirts and focus on the students and their grades and behavior.

I am very frustrated with the whole situation and am not sure how to deal with it. I will have to contact someone in the administration building to ask for help, which is what I was trying to avoid doing all along.
