Should Teachers Have A Dress Code?

 

 

             After reading this article  in my own opinion I can agree and disagree on both sides about should teachers have a drees code. Me, personally, I believe that teachers should have a dress code. If teachers didn't have a dress code what is the point of calling their career "professional." If you act professional you need to show it, and if you can't dress properly you obviously need a dress code. Just like the saying you have to give respect to earn respect. Teachers that come to school  who dress inappropiately clearly doesn't care about teaching, so why should students?

            Teachers should understand by now that, what you present in front of your students tends to rub off. Some teachers do not need a dress code but most do because they think since they are an adult they can wear what ever. That is why I agree on saying yes to giving teachers a dress code. The whole point of having a dress code is to prevent people from wearing clothes that shows their undergarments that isn't school appropriate.When people think of teachers, they think of a proffesional, educated, human being who is well dressed. If teachers want to come to school in their gym shorts and a stained t-shirt they shouldn't get the title/credit of a "proffesional" because they don't want to act like one.

            I understand as a teacher you have to stand up most of the school day so you wear tennis shoes because dress shoes and heels are uncomfortable, but there is a certain line that you can't cross when wearing certain appropriate clothes for school. Tennis shoes, slacks, belt, a collar shirt or a buttoned down long sleeve, and a tie should be recommended for men to wear to school. As for women it depends on how you feel and what suits you. You can wear a dress, a lengthy skirt, jeans, capris, flats, sandals (with a strap), heels, or just a plain suit. Therefore in my opinion I believe that dress code should be enforced on teachers who actually need to be aware of what they are wearing to school.
