How Do You Feel About a Public School Teacher Dress Code?

I think it would be more of a distraction if teachers looked really nice instead of casual. I think that as long as the teachers aren't wearing anything too sloppy or skimpy, then they should be able to wear anything they want. I know I am more comfortable and am able to work better when I am not wearing a skirt and panty hose. That would be MISERABLE!

I agree 210% with Janet... I also think teachers should dress more like a authority figure and less like a aunt or uncle... I also think school uniforms would equalize everyone and avoid alot of disturbances ....not to mention help alot of kids with their self esteem issues and bullys. You see if there is a uniform on every student no one will feel less or get teased or made fun of as much... just my opinion.

I think I am the odd ball here. I think a LOT depends on the grades you are teaching. I think in the elementary schools dressing down is a HUGE plus. The little kids can very intimidated by adults. If you are dressed up too much then I think it only makes things worse. Having the little ones respect you is one thing. Having them trust you and like you is another. I found with my daughter that if she really likes the teacher then she does really well. Her Kindy teacher dressed very casual. A lot like I would. The kids LOVED her. The teachers that dressed up more still had kids that liked them but they also were very intimidated by her as well.

As for the middle and high school then I think it is a must that the teachers dress nicely. Older kids are much different. At least I think they are.

hmm I guess that makes sense
but not really
I think that like kindergarten and 1st grade would be hard to teach in nice clothes.
but I remember being in 2nd grade, my teacher dressed nice and she was actually one of myf avourite teachers.
