Teachers wearing Ugg/simlar boots at school?

[carocaro]

And yes I can't beleive that I think it's too casual to the classroom. It seems wrong to me, I would not wear them to work (but then again I work from home!).

Then you don't have to stand in a cold playground with freezing toes

You need to find something more important to moan about

Really? I don't think it matters.

It wouldn't worry me at all. DD's teacher usually looks fairly casual (not scruffy, just not prim/formal) but she is in Reception.

Does anyone really pay any attention to what teachers are wearing on their feet?

i agree OP, teachers should all be dressed thus

Even though I think Ugg boots are the work of the devil, I must concede that what teachers wear on their feet is not of great importance to me.

Try standing all day, running around like a lunatic and traipsing across cold playgrounds, then come back and tell us Uggs are inappropriate.

As a teacher I don't think they are appropriate.

One of DDs teachers wears white snow boots with a black pinstripe trouser suit and a T-shirt with a child friendly design (think Winnie the pooh).

She would look much better in uggs, somle leggings and a nice knitted tunic.

It depends - if the children have a strict dress code, I would expect the teachers to have one too. If the children don't have to wear a uniform I wouldn't care if a teacher wears uggs.

Perhaps bit is different for secondary.

I wouldn't. That's mostly because I think they look really ugly, but also I am in the science lab and I don't think they'd be appropriate.

I would not wear them, if outside in the rain at playtime they would absorb every single puddle within a 100 mile radius! Boots yes, UGG boots, no.

A couple of the teachers at DD's school wear high heels all day and I am more at that, in that I just don't know how they do it. Ugg boots would be perfectly appropriate I would have thought.

Oh. Well I'm all for it if they find them suitable. I hate uggs myself but fair game to those who like them.

One of my 'friends' was moaning about the teacher having a tiny nose stud. I mean what? how on earth is that not appropriate...does it jeopardise safety, NO, does it cause any other problems, NO..I wear one, which I forget I have most of the time, and as a mother it doesn't appear to compromise my job either.

Really really ridiculous. But then again I resent and hate the pettiness schools can display over children's uniform, as well.

If they are going to be bloody fussy then I guess we can be too.

I wear boots, in snow I will put wellies on of I am on duty outside. But never uggs, impractical and sloppy.

We would be frowned upon for wearing a nose stud as well.

I just bought some Wombat boots, furry & cosy, look better made and nicer style than any Uggs and cost about a third of the price.

WHY is the general public SO obsessed by teachers clothes?
you dont get this with any other proefession

It depends on the school's stance I think in general but honestly, Kellogg, it just never ever occurred to me to worry about something like that.

If it was a great big hulking bull ring, or whatever they're called, or long dangly chains or anything else that might present a H&S issue then of course.

But a tiny stud, or reasonably sensible, warm flat boots - no. Where do you draw the line?

I wouldn't get away with a nose stud. I take most of my earrings out for school, as the pupils are only allowed one pair I think it's fair enough that I should only have one pair too.

Yay for Cod. Happy Yule.

I think it's maybe because teachers tend to be the ones obsessing over our children's clothes. But I don't care what teachers wear. I really don't. We had an RE teacher who wore sandals/flip flops/bare feet.

Great fuss about that. It made things MUCH more interesting
