Are you very particular about your teacher's physical appearance?

I am a teacher and I also sporting a short hair style. I want it just wash and wear to have time to attend to some important paper matters (lots of it actually) but whenever I am coming into a classroom, I make it a point to look presentable.

Hello arlene, Actually, I am not very particular about my teacher's appearance...I have tried that type of hair too and my family tease me a lot..LOL! Maybe they are not used there to see any women with that cut?

Hi Arlene, you still look beautiful in your hair. There are a lot of women who looks very presentable and professional with their short hair. I won't be shocked if I see my wife wearing that kind of haircut, though honestly I like long hair. That's why every time my wife will have a haircut she always ask permission from me. Anyway, got a lot of teachers in college who wear short hair and I observed some male students who have long hair. I think its okay, it is on how a person carry it to make her/him looks presentable.

As long as my childrens teacher looks professional and actually TEACHES my children i couldn't care less about what she looks like. When i say professional i simply mean that she is not dressed like a streetwalker.

For me arlene it doesn't matter as long as your not bald...lol!Children are shock for the first time ,but like you said they will used to it:-).I wish I can have sports cut too but I don't know what I look like.

Hi, your style suits you, actually. I think students, specially children don't care much about the teacher's appearance as long as he or she looks nice, I mean clean and neat. I teach ESL too, privately. I own my institute and I've made it a point of informality and personal involment. By informality I mean I usually wear jeans (no sneakers cause I think women over 18 should avoid sneakers unless for sports) and a nice sweater or top. I keep the environment as friendly as possible, since my classes are very small (from 1 to 5 stds). There are some schools that require to follow a stricter dress code. I think we should always remember we teachers are rolemodels, so although I love tattoes I wouldn't have one where people can see it in everyday life, and I wouldn't have my hair dyed green or blue. I'm quite openminded and I wouldn't mind my child have a teacher with tattoes or piercings as long as she or he is professional and caring!

i don't think it should matter how your teacher looks, he/she has to look representable that's all. Learners need to concentrate only on their studies and not on the teacher . . . anyway I like the short hair cut, I think it's more manageable and gives that serious corporate look.

Appearance of a teacher plays is very small part in being a good teacher .The students like those teachers who make an effort to know ,accept and respect the goals and interests of the students .
