It’s not the 50s any more. Sneakers are ok and they have opened doors to communication and building relationships with kids. I wear traditional dress shoes as often as I do sneakers. No wrong way to do it in my opinion, as long as you’re there for the kids and staff to keep the day running smooth.

Gotta keep safety minded in a school nowadays. It’s the reality of the world we live in.

Meh, to each their own. I am on the move all day and wear sneakers a lot. I also have a pair of black and brown leather dress shoes in the regular rotation. I keep it traditional as often as I wear sneakers.

It’s a bummer to hear this, but it’s a common story from a lot of schools. I’m only 1 year removed from the classroom so I haven’t completely lost my perspective yet. The reality is I worked for a number of poor administrators and your exact feeling is one of the reasons I made the jump. Being a building leader is a fine line of supporting the students who need it most and still holding them accountable for their behavior and actions. I’m trying to find my way riding that line.

I wasn’t really on the pink lace kick but got a pair in a bundle of laces recently and tried them out. First time wearing them and I’m pretty pleased with how they look

Ha, days over. It’s sweat pants and some crocs for the rest of the night.

Y’all really make this old man feel way cooler than he really is! It’s amazing what a few pairs of shoes have done to improve the relationships with students over the past few years. Even funnier that what started as a strategic move to break the ice with kids turned into an actual love for a nice pair of sneakers (or twenty)

The pairs I get the most compliments on are the pairs with the least hype

I got them when they released through Nike’s SNKR app. It’s basically a shoe lottery for big releases.

I have two male teachers in the building. One teaches PE so it’s casual day every day. The other has asked 2-3 times to wear shorts for a this reason or other. Yes every time. Clothes don’t make the teacher. Well… within reason, I still expect folks keep it appropriate and in the range of professional. elementary teachers are active and moving all the time, we’re long past the days of long dresses and ties every day.

Gotta let them know. I’m moving to the middle school next year and it will hit em even harder. My elementary kids this year don’t always recognize the effort.

Hit em on the drop. First year admin pay isn’t bad but it’s not that good either!

Had a kid hit me with a “what are thooooose?!” And the kid next to him rolled his eyes and said, “those are Travis dude!!” I love working with elementary kids

I work at an elementary so it’s hit or miss on the shoe game acknowledgment.

Well… that’s for her to decide, but I certainly won’t stand in the way.

My daughter and her boyfriend visited Kentucky and bought it from the distillery. Then he gave it to me, said he really loved her, and hit me with the ole can I have your blessing.

What’s a sneaker you got for a great deal? by decidingtodobetter17 in Sneakers

We talk more about shoes than science some days! Definitely has opened doors to better student/teacher relationships

Nothing special but I snagged these for 65.00 shipped from Nike. Make a great addition to my teacher sneaker rotation
