Re: GEN: Teacher Dress Code

[Pat Bartoshesky <bartoapple@COMCAST.NET>]

Jo commented that times have changed. I almost asked a colleague if he was
playing hooky for the day, when I saw him, on the way to school, at a
convenience store wearing t-shirt, jeans and sandals. No, he was headed to
school.

BTW, one Sears store near us has actually stopped selling any "everyday"
dresses for women!

> Reading all the comments on dress codes reminds me of my first job back at
the NYPL in late 1969. Pants for women were just being introduced into the
workforce at that time. The library decided to allow pants only if part of a
professional looking pants suit. That soon degenerated to any kind of pants
you wanted to wear with the exception of jeans.

principal to decide if someone is dressed inappropriately. I have to confess
that some of the late Spring outfits often look like they belong on the
beach.

asking the female anchor if there were more pants than dresses in her
wardrobe. She said more pants and I think that most working women would
agree. How far we've come in 35 years.
