@principal_lamb: Teachers have enough pressure these days. So here’s one thing that shouldn’t stress our educators out: What to wear. Look, being an educator requires you to move a lot. We’re on carpets. We’re circulating in classrooms. We’re at recess duty. We’re transitioning students in hallways. The job is physical. So let’s allow our educators to be comfortable. Some schools allow teachers to wear jeans on Friday. My question is, why not everyday? At the two campuses I support, everyday is jeans day. Look, allowing teachers to wear what they want is a win for everyone. It doesn’t cost schools a penny. And in my experience, educators appreciate having this choice. After all, comfortable and happy teachers do great work with students. I’d love to know your thoughts on this. What is your school’s staff dress code? Let me know in the comments. #jeans #teachersoftiktok #dresscode
We have to pay “social dues” to receive jeans passes.

I teach in Canada, no one cares what teachers wear. This job is hard enough, I can't imagine policing clothing on top of everything else.

Thank you! I’ve seen teachers look more comfortable and professional in jeans than in some dresses. 😬 Thankfully we are allowed to wear jeans whenever we want for now.

I’d generously pay to wear leggings. However my district likes to micromanage their teachers and believes casual clothes cause the behavior issues

😡 Teachers do not earn enough to be told by someone higher up what to wear. This is ridiculous.

Social Studies w/ Mr Stockford :
a number of studies show teacher dress has no impact on academic performance (unless it's very immodest or revealing), so there's no reason to regulate it so tightly.

I allow jeans whenever they want! We’re out in Tombstone, AZ 🌵 Most of my teachers have animals they have to feed at 4 am. They shouldn’t have to change to look cute for school. Comfy & comfortable!
