Couldn't agree more with you. Sorry someone felt it was necessary to be rude to you offline. No one here wears any power suits either -- one would be filthy by the end of the day with dust, chalk dust, and worse. Our principal (male) is always in a suit as is our president (male). The Dean of students only wears a power outfit if she is in front of the whole school in the auditorium. The VP ususally wears dress blouse and skirt. Our one remaining religious sister (SSND) wears a pants suit or blouse, skirt or slacks. We dress "professionally" but also for comfort. The big push is also that we always have our badge on -- for security reasons, etc. The some complained that their first names were on the badge - but our students are usually very respectful and I've never heard a student address a teacher by her/his first name.
