I'm a teacher. When I first started we practically had to "sue" to wear pants suits. It had to have matching top and bottom. We had to wear dress shoes and nylons. Can you imagine that! And I taught on the third floor of a huge ancient high school building.

I am still working without AC, so I'm glad the rules have relaxed. We have casual Fridays but we pay a dollar, which goes into the Christmas fund for needy kids.
