Alternative as a teacher
Hello, I am a about to go into my first year’s student teaching, and I realized that my personal style isn’t exactly compatible with traditional ideas of professionalism, especially not in a place like the education industry. Also doesn’t happen that the options for men as teachers are horribly under represented. I’m really just trying to figure out what I should do because how I normally dress obviously isn’t suitable for the classroom but also I don’t wanna just look bland and boring. Plus I need to retain some functionality because I’m working in elementary school so I have to be moving around constantly.
I’m just kind of lost on where I can go because I don’t wanna sacrifice my personal style, but I still want to comply with dress code
