If a teacher is violating dress code, they will be notified through an note from administration. However, some of the people who are issuing these violations are also violating dress code. How should this be addressed?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted February 28, 2016 3:32 am uVeWar Reps: 226 If you feel that the person issuing the violations are also violating the dress code you can notify their supervisor. You should use the chain of command to address the issue.

Going to a supervisor would be an appropriate step forward.   Posted on: September 21, 2020 6:04 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted October 9, 2016 11:54 pm PeQyGa Reps: 201 I wouldn't cause a huge scene, this won't be good for anyone. I think the best course of action would be to talk to a supervisor or someone above that certain administrator. If they want to be enforcing the rules then they should also be following them.

A school is a professional setting and everyone who works there should dress accordingly. If administrators want teachers to adhere to the dress code, then they should set example of how to dress properly.

If she/he is demanding something from the staff that she manages then she should be the perfect example of what it is expected. I would talk to the principal about it. It is a complicated situation because you don't want to cause a big drama.

Then if nothing changes seek speaking with the assistant principal of your school. If you do not feel comfortable doing so then just simply wait it out and they will eventually be addressed by someone if they keep repeating the offense.

Personally, I would take it to the supervisor.   Posted on: February 18, 2019 10:17 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 8 Posted October 6, 2016 4:52 am QaNese Reps: 102 I think if you wanted to avoid stirring up some animosity you could write a leave an anonymous note in their mailbox. Don't be abrupt about it, just write it as if you were telling them because they didn't even notice that they were breaking their own rules.

Also, in order to ensure that another teacher is also in dress code, the assistant principle should check to see if the teacher who reported it is in proper attire. Votes: +2 / -2 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution Danielle Brown Reps: 102 I dont think that it should be a multiple offence. Wether they do it once, twice or consistantly, it is still hypocritical. You make a conscience decision every morning about the clothing that you put on.   Posted on: October 20, 2019 3:50 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 10 Posted March 19, 2019 10:15 pm ybabaJ Reps: 301 I would contact their superiors and have them enforce the rules on the admin team.

If you are really wanting to get the person in trouble you could go to the administration and let them know. Votes: +1 / -11 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution uZazym Reps: 7 I totally agree with your statement saying that fellow teachers should not feel responsible to "report" a colleague because of improper dress code. Administrators should make sure there is proper dress code carried out throughout the building.   Posted on: March 24, 2017 4:02 am Add a Comment                 Solution 12 Posted October 10, 2017 7:18 pm vugage Reps: 201 I would address this with the person above the person issuing the violations. I would do it calmly and politely.

It of course is not right if this is happening. They should be held to the same standards.

Dress codes for teachers should be pants, cool shirt and no flip flops. This administration has become a monarch so it is time for a revolution (kidding). We have a teacher that wears cotton pants, tie-dye shirt and converse(bright orange). The kids love him. I think it would be time for me to move on to another school. Casual, conservative and comfortable.

They are expected to be the role models for those they are routinely examining. It does not help for them to be violators as well.
