If your not getting paid, yes.Don't dress up, you'll be covered in glue and glitter before you know it.

I don't wear denim jeans because mine are very casual, but i might wear cords or dark denim.

Alethiometer · 14/10/2007 17:33

especially for glueing and sticking, talk about how to make life very beige and un interesting,

To be honest no, I would not wear jeans. I would wear smart, casual clothes similar to what the teachers/TA's wear. I don't think jeans sets a very good example to the children. They won't necessarily differentiate, they will just see you as an authority figure.

Our teachers wear jeans!

OMG, only on MN would this be asked. I don't own anything but jeans....
