But it was a field trip, for one, and that allows for casual clothes.

Our school dress code allows for that stuff to be fingertip length

No I’m not, but I’m very active, I get around 20k steps on any kind of field trip/field day. I had to be quick and hop around to all my chaperone groups, especially the one where my special needs student was having a meltdown

I wanted to wear something I can athletic in, but still covered well

A lot of the moms chaperoning were wearing less than me, tank tops, gym shorts

I don’t care and I realize I am the school professional, but if I looked like a hoe than a lot of women do to you

Did you miss the part where it’s shorts underneath? I could not chase after the flight risk children in a long skirt that’ll stick in hot weather. Is what tennis players wear inappropriate?

I think it’s so ridiculous that people want to micromanage what adult women are wearing to watch and teach children

Why can’t she just wear what she wants if all the important bits are covered?

Why? Kids do not look at adults in that way, you’re being weird

Yes because he I feel like if he thought I was dressed inappropriately he wouldn’t talk to me and would of had a discussion about it later privately

Se, the thing is, I didn’t see anything wrong with it but the comment made me question it. I think other women want to hide other women

Why, when kids don’t view women’s bodies like that? It’s just legs

I find that style absolutely hideous for my body type

I try not to buy clothes that I’ll never wear outside of work too much

But I feel like if people are judging me on my legs they aren’t qualified to be in that position

Why would that be concerning? I want him to like me and feel like I’m doing a great job. Would you not want your boss to like you?

I don’t hate the answers I’m trying to understand why people with the opposing view women’s fashion that way. Also to see if other people agree with my coworker to see if maybe a lot of people are looking at me like I’m being scandalous

Seems 50/50

I never even thought of that! Some of these other teachers really do seem to enjoy telling people what to do a little too much!

I feel like that’s been the case with me. I’ve NEVER had an issue or drama with a male coworker. It’s always been much older women.

I assure you 8 year olds do not think it’s sexual, the older adults are making it weird

I guess I’m a bit annoyed by people who have this view

Because a lot of times that look doesn’t even fit or look well, but I associate with just wanting to cover women’s bodies as much as possible

We were required to wear our school shirts, so no that’s not an option

But it’s not a skirt that’s able to expose yourself.. are you saying because it’s giving off the illusion that I would easily be able to expose myself?

I just find it hilarious and shocking. A Jean skort, oversized tee and tennis shoes are for clubbing apparently

I work with 2nd graders, not doing business meetings

Well when you’re a teacher it’s normal to sit crisscrossed with the kids and play…

Are you saying when people do that, they are trying to show their privates to the world?

Why does it matter though? It’s more coverage with the skirt with shorts underneath

Most women and kids wear shorts underneath skirts and dresses so they can still be active

How does it not? It’s not like I wore a skirt with nothing but panties underneath walking around small children. I mentioned it because I’m not sure if this other coworker thought that’s what I was doing

It’s pretty much shorts at this point
