Should Teachers Have A Dress Code?

          Do you have a student dress code at your school? If so then you probably have had to lower your sense of style and had more difficulties while school shopping. With us students having dress code we have to search for clothing that will keep us out of trouble but still give us originality and style. Then there's the teachers, who have no dress code and dress how they want to. They have it easy clothing wise in my opinion I mean like why should students have to follow a dress code and not teachers. Yes, teachers are adults they are capable of taking care of themselves but some teachers outfit choices can be quite disturbing and some present themselves poorly in front of students.Though, some teachers do dress professionally and present them selves as serious people, that don't require to have a dress code. But there's also the teachers who come in just a simple t-shirt, shorts, high heels, or in a sleeveless shirt or dress who need a dress code enforced in order to dress appropriately for work. And I give props to the teachers who are capable of presenting themselves appropriately without a dress code. But overall I do accede that teachers should have a dress code policy and agree with Aimee Downers point.
          As a student you are required to follow dress code which I think has some silly rules. Such as not being able to wear a tank top I understand they don't want to see undergarments but a tank top with a thicker strap is capable of covering up bra straps. So as students we are told to come as responsible young adults, so why shouldn't teachers have to represent themselves as responsible adults? Adults are suppose to be good role models for the youth , in which teachers should get a stricter dress code then us students have. Yes, teachers should know how to dress themselves and present themselves in front of others but unfortunately some do not. Although only some teachers require a dress code i still do believe one should be enforced to all of them cause if a teacher presents their self correctly then a dress code should not affect them.
          Also, if teachers have a dress code then it could actually help them succeed in their career because students will most likely take them more seriously. And teachers if you get a dress code no that does not mean you have to dress up in slacks and a button down shirt with a tie everyday. But in my opinion teachers should have the same dress code policies as student if not then more fitted to their age group. I could honestly say that both  Amy Downer and Bill McConnell give good reasons for whether or not teachers should have a dress code to follow or not and I agree with both of them in some ways. But Overall I would have to say Amy Downer is more convincing and has better ways to back up her opinion and why she believes teachers should have a dress code .
