Inappropriate Teacher's Dress
Have any of you faced a teacher, preschool or otherwise that dressed
inappropriately? Recently, I experienced a situation with "teachers" (they were actually college students doing a summer intern-job) that wore low ride, cotton, white, mini skirts, with no slips (do people still wear slips?). One has a tongue stud. Both wore shirts with their belly buttons exposed. It is a delicate situation in that I am related to the owner. I did say something to the owner, but then let the subject die. I can say that husband is eager to drive my daughters to the school! In a previous preschool, the teachers had tattoos, but they covered them up. I have a tattoo as well, but if I was in a professional situation, I would cover it up. Mary |

Why such over analysis of my post? First of all, summer does not start on a special day in just Ohio. It starts the same day in all of the Northern Hemisphere. Most colleges have started their summer breaks. These girls are working their summer jobs. Shall we call it a spring break or a spring job just because it is not summer yet? @@ These college-aged girls are not teachers, as they are not certified or degreed. I think a more proper term for them would be teacher's aides. Yes I made note of what they were wearing. If it did not make an impression on me, I would not be posting about it. Belly button shirts, and tongue studs are unprofessional, and inappropriate. The tongue studs can interfere with annunciation, and these teachers need to role model proper speech patterns. I know my daughters' previous teachers had tattoos because they showed my daughters their tattoos when the subject of my tattoo was brought up. I hardly see how this post can be considered trolling, as I did not post in a body art newsgroup. The subject matter is not controversial. |

Recently, I experienced a situation with "teachers" OK, since you are posting from Ohio , USA, summer "recently" must have been last summer (2004). Colleges get out in May, so this could well be happening this summer. Quotes around "teachers". Hmmm. They appear to be college students helping out at a pre-school. Calling them teachers may well be overstating things. (they were actually college students doing a summer intern-job) that wore low ride, cotton, white, mini skirts, with no slips (do people still wear slips?). Good on you for noting the fabric content , color, cut, and lack of undergarments . eyeroll What's your problem? She feels the attire is inappropriate, and so she described it. One has a tongue stud. So? So, she doesn't like it. Both wore shirts with their belly buttons exposed. So? So, she doesn't like it. It is a delicate situation in that I am related to the owner. I did say something to the owner, What? but then let the subject die. I can say that husband is eager to drive my daughters to the school! In a previous preschool, the teachers had tattoos, but they covered them up. How did you know thay had tattoos? What difference does this make? I have a tattoo as well, but if I was in a professional situation, I would cover it up. And here is your answer. She has a tattoo. The teachers probably noticed it and it started a conversation. Hahah. You're a friggin troll, so these teachers must be paragons of virtue in comparison. Why is she a troll? I don't think I'd be crazy about women running around my children's pre-school in skimpy and/or sexually suggestive clothing. I've seen the kind of dress she describes -- poolside? Sure. At the mall? Okay. At my kids school? Well, it hasn't happened to me, so I'm not sure how I'd feel about it. But I don't think expecting my children's teachers to dress professionally is a trollish attitude.

One has a tongue stud. Both wore shirts with their belly buttons exposed. ok.... is there a stated dress code? if not, well... what kind of dress do you expect from college students doing summer work in a daycare? do you really expect them to go out & buy "professional" dress for a situation where they are playing with small kids? also, tongue studs don't cause elocution problems if they are put in correctly. it does drive me buggy when someone can't resist playing with thier tongue stud constantly, but that's a seperate issue. i had no problems hiring people with body mods when i worked in a professional situation, as long as they didn't fiddle with them or they didn't have obscene tattoos in visible locations. It is a delicate situation in that I am related to the owner. I did say something to the owner, but then let the subject die. why is being related to the owner making this a more delicate situation? or do you not pay for the daycare? i can see not whining if the care is free... I can say that husband is eager to drive my daughters to the school! how sad. guys that don't look are probably dead anyway ok, maybe i'm just not insecure, but i really don't care if my SOs are looking at other girls. what's the big deal? lee -- war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength 1984-George Orwell |

Most schools afterall, have dress codes. I'm not sure how I would feel about the piercings. If it is an issue for that particular teacher (i.e there is difficulty in understanding what she says), then I can understand that. FWIW, I once met someone (professionally) that I'd talked to on the phone several times. Until I met her in person, I had no idea that she had a tongue stud. For some people it isn't an issue. Your comment regarding your husband though leads me to believe that there's more to your complaints than you have fully described. If it bothers you that he looks at other women then I suggest you have a long, meaningfull talk with him. It might help. annette |

I have a tattoo as well, but if I was in a professional situation, I would cover it up. Yep. Several of my DD's full-time afterschool teachers dress like this. These are not interns, but college-educated women in their first full-time teaching position. My DD's all-time favorite afterschool teacher has a tattoo and belly peircing. She dresses to show them off, with ultra low rider jeans. My girls are not preschoolers; they are preteens who are at the age where they are influenced by the role models around them. At first, it did bug me, especially since my DD's worship the ground this woman walks on. But, then I got to know this teacher, and I could see why the worshipped her. Despite her dress, she is a fantastic teacher and all around wonderful human being. A really neat person with solid values that I approve of, and I am happy to have her around my kids and influencing them. I just don't approve of the way she dresses! But, I'm not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The girls asked me about the tattoo and belly button peircing, and so I used it as a teaching occasion to impart my own wisdom and viewpoint. We've talked about it a lot over the years, specifically how you *cannot* and *should not* judge a person by the clothes they wear!! We've also talked a lot about how fashion is fun, but fashion should be removable, because fashion changes quickly and that's the whole idea. So go ahead and dye your hair, perhaps, but think really hard before you make a permanent fashion change like a tattoo or a body peircing. jen |
