Appropriate Dress
Let's Talk About Appropriate Dress for Teachers!
Dress is a form of self expression. When
people wear uniforms, the message they send out
is that they are at work engaged in the business
represented by the uniform.
The message is a reminder to the person
wearing the uniform and is a message to others.
Every profession has its uniform. Professional
Baseball players wear baseball uniforms. Every
professional sport has its uniform.
Cooks have uniforms. Band members wear
uniforms. Nurses and doctors wear uniforms.
Everybody wears clothing that is appropriate
to the activity in which they are engaged.
Police and fire workers wear uniforms.
Businesspeople, attorneys, politicians and
statesmen all wear uniforms. For them, it's
a suit for men and similar attire for women.
In my opinion, teaching is a occupation
that should be conducted in a professional
manner. Therefore, professional dress is
called for.
