Little Rock~Arkansas-Teachers required to wear....Underwear!

Dusting off my soap box once again:
On the first day of every school year~ my husband would don what he called his teacher uniform. He wore a suit and tie and his dress shoes. He always felt it was important to start the school year dressing accordingly. From that day forward~ he'd always wear a pair of slacks~ dress shirt and tie and sport's jacket.

I also felt the need to dress what I felt was professionally for the my students~wearing one of my skirt sets or dresses. I never would think to come to school in jeans(unless it was a special dress down day or field day activity)~ wear a dress showing cleavage or a top that was especially formfitting. Thus~ I was amazed by a headline that stated a school district in Little Rock~ Arkansas~ is requiring its teachers to wear... underwear! Read more at:http://gailsglimmerings.blogspot.com/
