Re Dress code

[Darlene Yasick <lib027yas@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

I find this discussion interesting especially the part about dressing 
professionally. We do have a dress code ( no jean or sweats unless you teach PE) 
and have casual Fridays with donations going to a scholarship fund. Previously we 
were to dress to the code even on days when we didn't have kids. Luckily my very 
first inservice day I had to make a presentation so I "dressed up" had I shown up 
in jeans ( well actually I don't own any but a sweatshirt and tennis shoes would 
have been my attire for that kind of day) it would have gone in my file.

The one thing I have noticed is on game days when our athletes are required to 
dress up, they act much differently. Quieter, more respectful etc. ( and they look 
so much better) I think that is a good indication of how the way we dress makes an 
impression on others and ourselves.

PS I wear "nylons" nearly all the time ( my husband used to say the world's biggest 
rip off 3 bucks and you can wear them once before they run!) Can't stand the feel 
on bare feet in shoes, my toes aren't that appealing and those knee high things are 
like tourniquets!
