so the professional LEACHERS dressing as what they are don't like it? tough... so the professional LEACHERS dressing as what they are don't like it? tough...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
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!
Maybe the men teachers should start wearing speedos that will shut the women up.
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.
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.
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.
How we have fallen. when I was in tnird grade, 1969 or so, we had a huge debate whether to allow girls to wear pants to school. it was shocking. We won. Open the door..and all winds blow in.

I think the members of the New Hampshire teachers’ union should be required to wear flip flops and tank tops in January and February!
The times have changed but the public schools have only gotten a new hairdo. When I was a kid in school, they were populated almost exclusively by crazy old bags who had left planet Earth a long tome before. From the “science” teacher who made us open doors with kleenex so “the germs wouldn’t jump off onto our hands,” to the one that made us wallpaper doll houses so we would know the “proper” colors for each of the compass headings, to the one that told us if we were forced to breathe pure oxygen at the hospital our lungs would catch fire, to the ones that refused to let us read anything printed after 1880, to the principal that forced me to take Latin, to the math teacher who terrorized us with surprise tests, just the threat of which made us have diarrhea before class, to the must-attend Christmas parties, to the gym teachers that used gym to torture those of us who were not athletic (always ending in cold-water showers until your legs nearly gave out and you sucked your genitals up into your neck), to ... well, you get the picture. We survived public school, that’s all. If you didn’t have smart, caring parents, you were pretty much screwed. I see no meaningful change since then, just movement to different types of child abuse and torture. And in all these years, teachers’ unions are to blame.
tank tops are off limits?
How will they entice young boys with their bouncing boobs and nipple peircings?
How dare you statists restrict their right to go topless in class! Why they should be allowed to breastfeed those kids!

You can still wear sneakers and look presentable...they are called “umpire shoes”. They come in black.
Heck, I wore them in the military. Reg only said clean, black and no emblems. Perfect shoe.
I remember a couple teachers from high school. Both wore tight sweaters. If tank tops existed I wished they wore them. If I was lucky enough to have sex I wouldn’t have thought I was a “victim” but the luckiest boy in school.
When I graduated college in 1988, a number of my women friends were complaining about having to endure office dress codes. They said that wearing heels was painful and bad for the feet and hose were uncomfortable and cold in winter. They had a point.
But now, a woman can wear a pantsuit and flats and be acceptable in most places, including just about any public school. A man can wear a button-down shirt without a tie, dress slacks, and any number of options for comfortable shoes and be acceptable in most places.
In short, the comfort argument is gone. Now it’s just a case of people who don’t care how they look and don’t respect the institution where they work.
