Fridays but it costs us $1 to support our Hospitality Fund.

Fridays and fake Fridays, like today!

Not today but enjoy

No, not so much. I don't expect the kids to be "casual" with their expectations, so no. We have no "casual" days.

When I saw this, I nearly lost it! Exactly how I feel:

(there is an f-bomb in there)

I'm not a fan of ties for men, ever. But there's a difference for professionally dressed for education and prof dressed for business.

Don't get me wrong. Dress shouldn't be a "respect factor" for kids to teacher either.

But if we expect to be treated professionally, then maybe we ought to look the part.

ryanboeckman: From students? Absolutely. But from parents and community at first meeting? Not so much. At least in my experience.

But maybe that's because we have such a different, non-schooly-school type of operation that it's important that we're seen as professional.

Kids don't have a problem with it at all. Parents? Yah, I think they do.

oops! it seems like a universal issue. here too in K.S.A. we have a dress code where jeans pants are excluded for Teachers especially in

(continued) national schools but we enjoy dressing informally in dresses or skirts.

as for men it's the default a shirt and a tie, too.

Park City is quite informal so there really isn't a dress code for teachers. We do get to wear a hat on the last Fri of each month!

but really i started to to like the idea of a dress down maybe we have to include it in our school improvement plan, just for fun
