The worst uniform, in my experience, is the white long sleeved shirt and tie. And so many aspire to wear it.
Go figure. |

At least wearing the above we'll look like teachers instead of employees at a fast food restaurant or workers at an adventure playground. It's a uniform that makes you look like a professional educator. If I had my own school I would recommend that the teachers wear dress shirt, trousers and shoes.
Also there is some relative freedom in that you have a choice of what white shirt and tie you wear. Not much choice, but better than none at all. |

I didn't think of that - a uniform to remind employees that those upstairs don't consider them as real teachers (a uniform that makes the FT look more like pupil than teacher) - a state of affairs that may also be reflected in the company's "non-professional" wage levels 
Its interesting to note - that when ProfM tells us that Bejing EF pays a far more professional sounding sallary than its outlying schools - that these higher paid EF employees aren't expected to wear the uniform. What should we make of that  |

and remember even if an FT drsses like a baker...they aint no baker... same goes for the teaching profession...but I susposed that EF could stand for Educational Fraud.....but then again .. most teaching could actually qualify for that uniform...hey a uniform standard of fraud...but then again.. the EF shirt is better than the standard crocs....which replaced the flip flop |

You'll be relieved then, to learn that it looks like the American based Crock footwear company will be going under.
Not that there aren't imitators aplenty to fill the fashion void.  |
