No flip-flops or beach/pool shoes. No clothes or accessories that are distracting to the learning environment. No facial piercings, nose piercings, tongue piercings, (ear lobe plugs) in ears or elsewhere that are visible or multiple earrings. No visible cleavage. No visible undergarments. No clothes that are too tight, too loose or transparent. No bare midriffs or skirts that are more than 3 inches above the knee. No spaghetti straps, no bare shoulders, no exercise pants, exercise shorts, sweat shirts, sweat pants. Men’s shirts should have a collar attached.
Now these are just common sense school environment dress regulations. The only problem is that they are not regulations for the students; they are for the teachers.
Some Arizona school districts have gotten so fed up with the way the teachers come dressed for school that they were forced to enact these dress codes. Since Arizona is a right to work state the school districts don’t have to worry about being dragged to court by the teachers unions for these requirements.
Remember back in the 1950’s and the early 1960’s before the San Francisco “Flower Child Revolution” when teachers wore suits and dresses. When teachers looked like and acted like teachers. When teachers taught instead of mentoring. No wonder Johnny and Jane can’t read or add anymore when their teachers have to be told how to dress appropriately.

Leon,
I remember will. I still believe there should be dress codes for teachers and students.

I like the idea of male/female segregation in school up to High school.
I think a business casual dress code is appropriate for teachers.
Teachers need to check their personal bias about student attire at the door before they enter the classroom.
I would not go as far as Leon does with student dress codes. Teens are weird about clothes – so be it. Pick your fights wisely with emphasis on the important stuff.

I forgot the hair regulations (applies to both or should I say (P.C.) all sexes);
"No extreme styles or hair colors (green, blue, pink, purple, red etc)".
These "Dress Regulations for Teachers and Staff" came from a Tucson area School District.

Leon, I missed that part.
I have seen a lot of tattoos on ‘business class’ personnel. What does the school board think about tattoos?

Yes, because a Creationist teacher in a suit is a much better teacher than a college educated professor in a t shirt. Another JOKE of a letter written by...unknown. The author is listed as Leon Ceniceros, but someone by that same name posts here regularly...this letter was NOT written by him. This letter was written by someone with a basic education in English and Grammar.
Why the cowardly dishonesty, Leon?
Well, at least we now know WHY poor Leon is so uneducated and illiterate...

"When teachers looked like and acted like teachers. When teachers taught instead of mentoring"
When students with different colored skin were segregated...when female students were only taught "girl things" to prepare them for a life of making babies and cooking dinner...when being gay wasn't even allowed to be mentioned for fear of abuse.
Ah yes, the good ol' days...if you're an ignorant causasian bigot, that is. ;)

Leon, you never cease to amaze. For someone who has not been in a public K-12 school building for the last 50 years, you know EXACTLY what goes on there!

Thank you Leon for some added common sense. You really kicked the "liberal/socialist beehive" this time.

Dress codes (or lack thereof) are all remnants of the Vietnam days. When kids got their "rights", and teachers/parents became answerable to courts (not common sense). Since that time parenting has been questioned, teaching has turned upside down, and kids have become their own masters. The only ones that seem upset are those of us who remember how it was!

Kudos to Leon!

I was wrong...actually the regulations come from a Valley of the Sun School District.
Mea culpa.
P.S.....loved the comment about the "ghost writer"....what a hoot !!!

Leon,
Don't try and pull a fast one on the "Enraged" elitist. Your common sense is to much for them handle without calling you names and berating you. Thanks for your letter.

VofReason -- you said " guy with a sleeve tattoo " and I had a mental picture of a guy in a suit coat with the sleeve tattoos and wondered ' how in the heck do they do that ' ... then it dawned on me you meant a tattoo that covered the whole arm.
I never even knew there was a name for that.
To me it was just a big azzed tattoo.
Can you picture what the retirement communities are going to look like in 50 years?
Geezers hobbling along with their walkers and metal crud sticking out of their lips and ears and eyebrows and faded tattoos on their faces and necks.
It looks weird and ugly now ... I shudder to visualize geezers with all those adornments.
Every tattoo shop should have to have a large picture of a geezer with faded tattoos and piercings and the legend " In 50 years this will be YOU " to make the kids think a second about what they are doing.
VofReason posted at 12:31 pm on Tue, Aug 7, 2012.
Good show Willie. However, my guess is that hard living may keep that crowd from getting to the retirement homes. If they do, it will be ugly no doubt. Think of those rocket scientists that stretch their earlobes in 30-40 years. Harsh. Something tells me if they posted pictures of people years later with tatoos, it would be counterproductive to business in the tatoo trade.

Let's quit worrying about what folks look like and try to teach these kids something. Quite frankly the kids today are dumb as a box of rocks. I fear for when I'm older and have to rely on these pukes to take care of me. Oh and I'm only 33 and I sound like my Grandmother maybe she wasn't just OLD she was smart.
