My school (in TX) had a relatively strict dress code for teachers, we couldn't wear blue jeans except of Fridays, and only with a school T-shirt (polo style). We had to adhere to the same dress code as the students other than that. I always felt I needed to dress professionally (mostly dresses) and look BETTER than we expected the kids to look.
But I still saw teachers (women) who just looked sloppy and unkempt, and I saw an awful lot of cleavage.
I don't know why adhering to a dress code that calls for professional, non provacative clothing would be a problem. At least not if you're there to teach.

At my last school teachers, male and female alike, couldn't wear tennis shoes, jeans, or t-shirts, except on certain days, students had a strict dress code, but it wasn't really enforced, such are public skewls.
