The First Days Of School

I read through the part in the beginning of the book tonight about the way we dress as teachers.  I've thought about this and I realize that my regular shorts or jeans and a t-shirt will not do.  I never wanted a job that I had to wear slacks and a button up shirt but I never thought I would be on the path to teaching either.  The section went on about how students will look at you and judge you based on your appearance which is normal.  I still do this.  Most of us do because that is usually the first thing we experience about a person.  I look at the way my teachers dress now and I am comfortable with the idea of dressing similarly.  I don't have much of a critique of what I read in the text about dress in this workplace.  It would be inappropriate to dress another way if for no other reason than just being distracting.  They went on about the way we act and talk to students and people in general and I could see myself saying certain types of things from both of the columns of good and bad.  Ill need to watch how I talk and act around students and fellow teachers so I don't put out the wrong impression about who I am and what I am about.  My Idea that I have for my future classroom is a really cool environment where we all get together everyday and learn something new and apply what we learn to our immediate world.  Id really like to improve the school as we go along as far as the tech goes.  Maybe my class could run the schools website and other stuff like that.  I looked at the website that my old high school has now and it looks pretty lame.  We could do a lot of cool work for free which has got to be cool for the administration.
