I was livid when our first grade teacher dressed like a sexpot, wearing shorts, low cut tees and sandals. It was sickening. Another teacher dressed very well, hose, heels, blazer had put make up on and done her hair with hair spray. She had a better behaved class too

Those teachers are just broadcasting that they don’t take education seriously. And they’re to dumb to realize it.

It is condescending. If the teachers were adults, they wouldn’t need to be told how to dress.

>>What happens if they go to a teacher and say, I don’t feel that dress is appropriate, it’s too short, and the teacher (responds by saying), Says who?<<
I volunteer to be the judge of that!

... several teachers are insulted such a policy exists, telling them blue jeans, sneakers, flip-flops and tank tops are off limits. Maybe the men teachers should start wearing speedos that will shut the women up.

I teach in a Texas district that has a pretty strict dress code for students and teachers alike. Only two years ago were men allowed to grow facial hair. When I go to conferences that include teachers from other districts, it always amazes me at the way many of them dress like floozies.

They weren’t disciplined as children, so you shouldn’t be surprised by this behavior from ‘adults’. Many are like this in New England...adults that act like five year-olds are quite common.

Down here in the non-union teaching states, our STUDENTS are not allowed to wear tank-tops.

This is just one more indication of how far NH has fallen from its once great, conservative positions.
Our local high school, located in a VERY up-scale town just outside of Manchester, during a Parent information night - we had a relatively new teacher state that her theory of teaching was that she had ‘as much if not more to learn from her students than she had to teach them’ and ran her classroom accordingly. I couldn’t understand why she was getting paid let alone given a graduate degree in education if that was even remotely true. BTW, she’s still ‘teaching’.

I remember a student teacher (local college student) at my High School telling us how he’d been reprimanded that morning for not wearing a tie and how it was a mistake that he wouldn’t repeat.

I learned quickly that the more professional and ladylike I looked, the better my kids behaved for me.

Tank tops were popular and allowed when I was in HS. However, after standing in the hall by my friend who was wrestling and football MVP and would set three weight lifting records I never wore one again.

Anytime flip-flops are banned, it’s a good thing.

The most hilarious thing about this is that many of these teachers will tell you I’m not qualified to educate my children at home, because they are trained “professionals” and I’m just some yahoo.

If her philosophy is true, she should be forced to come to a classroom with 30 other adults for 6-8 hours a day and receive no pay while a 15 year old is paid well above the median wage with fantastic benefits to stand at the front of the room and educate her.
I’m sure that plan will go over well.

The only teachers who didn't wear ties at my high school were the shop teachers. :-)
I went to a public HS in a small town in NE Ohio.
There wasn't a dress code, but most of the teachers dressed fairly professionally, with a couple exceptions.
I didn't take shop, but knew the shop teacher. He always wore a tie - tucked it into his shirt a few buttons down so it wouldn't get caught in any of the machine tools.
Always thought it looked a little silly, but I think everyone respected that he, of all the teachers, could have made a good argument to not wear a tie, but he chose not to.
