[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, I see what you’re doing. You’re putting yoga pants in the same bucket as shorts and flip flops and calling the whole thing “unprofessional.” That only works if you ignore context entirely.

Yoga pants: full coverage, functional, widely accepted in workplaces where people are moving around all day.
Shorts and flip flops: explicitly casual, often against dress codes, and not exactly practical for a classroom. Flip Flops would be a safety concern, which is also why students can’t wear them under many dress codes.

So no, they’re not interchangeable just because you personally don’t like them.

Also, this idea that [b]teachers need to dress like it’s 1995 [/b]to be taken seriously is…dated. They’re not standing behind a podium all day. They’re walking, bending, sitting on floors, dealing with kids. Comfort and mobility aren’t luxuries; they’re part of doing the job.

If the teacher is appropriately covered and doing their job, this is a non-issue. If yoga pants are what’s keeping you up at night, you’ve run out of real issues. [/quote]

I graduated from HS in 1994, and many of my HS teachers were wearing jeans, Justin boots, a t-shirt or button down shirt and a blazer. They weren't wearing ankle-length skirts like Ms. Beadle on Little House on the Prairie. [/quote]
