Around here, most of the male teachers wear khakis and casual shirts. Either button front or polo type shirts. The problems I've seen have been with female teachers wearing things too short or too tight.

I think teachers should set an example and the first thing kids notice ( I have 3 nieces and a nephew in school now) is how teachers dress. Kids form opinions fast and if a teacher dresses a little too much like the students, they are not respected as professionals.
