Should teachers have dress codes? Yes, and no.

    At first I was against the dress code, but after the articles I had read, well I've changed my mind. I'm cool with a teacher wearing Levis and a polo shirt, but I couldn't imagine a male teacher with piercings, it is just absurd that some teachers have that.
    I understand a female teacher with earrings, but that would be all  that I would be okay with, everything else would just, freak me out. I've seen a sub at our school with a tongue piercing, and to tell the truth, I had less respect for him because of it.
    Another thing I see sometimes is that a teacher wears something funky and students make fun of it or giggle about it, something like that, and it disrupts the class, I think there should be some rule about that. Sometimes I see teachers wearing something to revealing or inappropriate, I think should be added to dress code. I haven't yet seen a teacher trying to copy the style of teenagers, I hope I never do, because that would be very unprofessional of them.

    On the other hand I wouldn't mind seeing a teacher wearing t-shirts with designs(as long as they are appropriate) and jeans with some tennis shoes. Teachers have to stand around for six hours a day they might as well be comfortable says Bill McConnell.
    Also why should teachers spend their hard earned money on $400-$600 clothes, when they could be feeding themselves/kids/wife. Not to mention how easy it would be to stain their clothes throughout the day. Why waste your money on expensive clothing that you might ruin in class when you can just get a t-shirt and some cargo pants.

    I guess I'm on both sides, yes there should be a dress code, but not in the extremes, it would be fine just to have a basic dress code that prevented teachers from wearing inappropriate clothes, or piercings , etc.
 Though it is nice to see teachers in more formal clothing like dress pants a polo shirt and a tie like Mr.Vega, its more professional and I respect him more because of how formal he looks.
