A teacher wearing only saran wrap underwear walk into the classroom.
The students take one look at him and say, “Well, we can clearly see
you’re nuts.”
I have to ask the following questions? What would teachers say and do if
students wear Matric farewell dresses to gym class? Or what would
happen should we memorise our teacher’s outfits and wear the exact
same thing the next day? Will teachers feel embarrassed or upset with
our dress code? Will they see what we see when they show up all
tattooed and with minimal clothing on?
AND WHAT do we see? Do we see them as ‘cool’ and regard them as
our peers? NO, we don’t. We see unprofessional and badly dressed
people who make a mockery of a system that is meant to not only up
skill us for real life but also to teach us how to behave and be
professional.
Unless you are one of those that would like to have a teacher as your
best friend and a teacher who think of themselves as not fully grown up
adults in a child’s world the answer is simple, there is a code, a dress
code, abide by it.
Most companies have dress codes. According to http://www.dba-
oracle.com/dress_code.htm. First impressions count. A professional
consultant who doesn’t take the time to maintain a professional
appearance presents the image of not being able to perform adequately
on the job.
Should you get a job where you deal with clients face to face, for
example, the banking industry amongst others,
http://humanrecourses.about.com/od/workrelationships/a/dress_formal.h
tm, says that “a more formal dress code is necessary for their
employees. You must project the image of a trustworthy, knowledgeable
business professional for the clients who seek their guidance, input, and
professional services.”
