Poll of the Day > This 4th Grade Teacher was BANNED from Wearing THIS to Class...Is it bad???

(+) Yeah! (+)

A 4th grade teacher who has not revealed her face out of fear of losing her job, has posted a picture of what she was wearing that was SCOLDED by her BOSSES at the school she teaches!!

The unnamed teacher works at an un-identified American School and was stunned when her choice of outfit was deemed unsuitable for her to teach 9-10 year olds

This has sparked furious debate as her outfit exposes her arms and a flash of her collarbones as her superiors said her outfit and choice of footwear were wrong..

It ignited a flurry of comments defending or slamming her as some called attention to her choice of boots as people said it was SLUTTY while another woman said the frumpy teachers were probably jealous of her and complained and said she looked great!

Do you think female teachers should be allowed to wear what this teacher wore? let's see what people think

That's very conservative. Perfectly fair

"This has sparked furious debate as her outfit exposes her arms and a flash of her collarbones"

No joke, when I first saw that image I thought she was wearing a face mask as some kind of political statement regarding burkas.

my 4th grad teacher was a amazon (she was like 6 ft 2) and had to bend over to talk to students and always wore low cut shirts exposing her cleavage. nobody complained

Such scandalous and revealing outfits do not belong in this Muslim country!
---

I can see why it was reprimanded. It doesn't look professional. It's fine as a general outfit but not at work. And those boots.......yikes.
---

fair enough. I mean, is there any practical reason to wear thigh-high heeled leather boots to an elementary school?

had a teacher in 8th grade that dressed like a typical teenage girl and as such she was often grabbed by the arm by other teachers asking her why she wasn't in class as she'd stand in the hall way for a minute or so after the bell just to make sure there where no stragglers late to class before she shut the door. she never got in trouble. she also had a tramp stamp that you could catch a glimpse of if she bent over. she never got in trouble.

yeah the boots are kinda a weird choice for work but all and all I see nothing wrong.

The only crime here is a fashion crime. Those boots do not go with that dress.
---

Well, it looks more like something you'd wear to a club so it's inappropriate, although it's more something you'd send them home over rather than fire them. Granted, most schools have dress codes and this likely wasn't the first offense.... although, really, it's just a matter of those boots. The outfit probably wouldn't look scandalous if not for the boots.

It's pretty ugly.

I understand that some places are more lenient than others. But a standard must be upheld. Just because some weren't reprimanded doesn't mean that this leniency IS the standard which we must abide by.

Where I studied, teachers always wore a uniform.

Shirts in general colours (blue and gray), not tight, full-sleeves, buttoned up until just below the collarbone. Skirts (not tight; just simple A-line cut) were down until the calves. Shoes were black; 1-inched heel and fully closed (no high heels, no wedge or peep toe)

Hair and jewelry were also regulated.

It worked really well for us. As a student, it taught us to behave and project ourselves modestly. When we got older, that's when choices on how to present oneself in the world becomes available.

It's fine to express and assert one's individuality and all that. But there are limits; there's a time and place for everything. Teachers and schools are often called a student's second parent and home. How she dresses is a way she presents herself. This can and will influence her students (subconsciously). The image and reputation of the school will also get affected as she is an employee there and represents the establishment.

These little actions may seem harmless to some but there are underlying effects that people often overlook.

if shes wearing that then clearly their is no uniform policy, and I see nothing wrong with the outfit. as said the boots are a weird choice, but still nothing wrong with them.

what you said did make remember a school I had gone to once caused a uproar though as they implemented a uniform on the students but not the teachers.
---

The dress is fine but the boots... Waaaaay too much.
---

A weeks old repost?
I thought higher of you...
---

That's ridiculous, I've had teachers wear things that make that look positively chaste and as a young boy, if anything it made me pay attention to them a lot more lol
---

That's p common for my son's kindergarten teacher and the 1st grade teacher to wear. And it's a catholic school.

*those are definitely hooker boots tho
---

Oh, what if you were able to see a little ankle? Think of teh children!

I never implied that this school had uniforms. If they did, this was a blatant violation which should be addressed anyway.

The point is, people will have different opinions on what is or isn't acceptable and to what degree. As I said initially, that outfit is fine. But just not at school. It's not professional. It's edgy and casual.

She needs to set an example. Not just to the students but to the other staff as well. That's why dress codes exist so that there's a standard that everyone is to follow.

Eh its fine. I dunno why there's a problem with the boots, they're just black boots.
---

The boots don't seem appropriate for elementary school.
---

I think it's dumb she was scolded. I'm sure her bosses are all people with standards of the 1950s. Same kind of people who suspended that young black kid last year for having a tiny bit of his hair shaved off. Bunch of idiots. This is the story of the kid who was suspended for his haircut.

Sounds like something my school would've done. Unnatural hair color was banned until my classmates started a petition in 8th grade. They wanted to "preserve the reputation of the school"

i've always hated shit like that, let kids/teenagers do their thing when it comes to stuff like that, a lot of jobs don't allow it so, let them have it while they are young.
