[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why you care, really. My mom taught public high school for 35 years and always wore dresses, skirts, statement jewelry. Jeans for exam week only. However, if they are teaching well, IDGAF what they are wearing.  [/quote]

But I do care.

We are paying good money for private school and the hope is they would take education seriously. Why demand a dress code for students and let teachers wear jeans?

And why suggest a dress code for an evening event and then show up in jeans?

And don’t even get me started on visible tattoos. [/quote]

Would you support a small bump in tuition to give teachers a clothing allowance?

You can buy professional-looking clothing on Amazon, at TJ Maxx, etc.

While I make a decent living, I rotate a handful of outfits each week, and I’ve had some pieces of clothing for many years (decades even).

There’s no reason why a teacher should wear jeans and a t-shirt to work. [/quote]

Buying professional looking clothing on a small budget and keeping those pieces for years are mutually exclusive in the modern world. Cheaply made junk from fabrics that will not last exists at many price points, but utterly dominates the inexpensive ones.[/quote]

Disagree.

You can find some of the same brands from major department stores at deep discounts at TJ Maxx, and certain fabrics can hold up for years/decades.

You can find machine-washable separates and dresses for $15-50 at TJ Maxx. I routinely wear $39-49 dresses to work.

And if you invest in a Ralph Lauren Oxford, those shirts last for generations. Literally. [/quote]
