[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at a religious school. Unless there is a theme day, I dress as if I would be attending Mass that day (even if I am not). And on weekends, when I attend Mass, if I don't have the energy to dress well enough to see my students and their parents, I go to Mass a few miles away so I can be comfy & anonymous. I agree that if young men are wearing a tie, and I am in jeans as their guide, I just gave away some of my authority. At times when I need sneakers (like plantar faciatis (sp?) or a twisted ankle) I try let the kids know this was an accommodation, not my default fashion choice. A long sweater or some leggings that are like tights under a dress or skirt can make things more modest or appropriate. Again, spirit days, or "dress down days" are OK, and are a great way to show love for a school. I am not always fun, but on pajama days or other spirit days that bring drama, I pretend I forgot and where something "church" appropriate. [/quote] This guy parties. [/quote]
