She said: "Have you seen what teachers wear to school these days? Blue jeans. Tee shirts. Shorts."
No. I didn't know that.
We had a Vice Principal at my daughter’s elementary school in 1999, who wore form-fitting mini-skirts, 4’ stilettos, tight-cleavage revealing tops, and enough makeup to award a Mary-Kay representative with a new pink Cadillac, annually!
Parents complained, teachers complained, students complained, and the school district did nothing! This was AFTER they implemented uniforms for the students!
When I was in school, I can’t remember a male teacher (including the coaches who also taught other subjects) wearing anything other than a dress shirt, slacks, and a tie to the classroom; not sweats, not tennis shoes, but dressy clothing only. Most of my female teachers wore dresses (nothing revealing), and occasionally a pantsuit. When our coaches left the field house to visit the main office or any classroom, they would switch into dress clothes.
Today’s teachers wear shorts, sweats, mini-skirts, blue jeans, and t-shirts, every single day! It is sad! If you aren’t going to be a professional, then why do the profession?!?
