Do Teachers Have to Dress professionally?

Although I believe that it's a good idea to err in the direction of having a professional appearance, I've come to realize that the answer is that it's up to you.

In some teacher situations, wearing a professional dress code could distinguish between a successful lesson and complete failure. For others, the impact it has is almost non-existent.

Here's a disclaimer: I believe that each teacher should dress professionally and dress in a modest manner. All of us must be exemplary for our students, and we shouldn't distract them by what we wear (unless you're in spirit week, which is, of course.) However, the issue here will be whether it's necessary to pull out our suits and blazers each day. Women, would we really need to have a closet full of pantyhose? Are khaki capris or an occasional semi-casual top acceptable?

You might require a more professional appearance.
