When I was a young teacher, the teachers all dressed up in high school too. The kids liked it. The uncool teachers were always fussed over the most. It was like a scene from that movie "Freaks" a million years ago. With the kids being the ones saying "You're one of us".
As we "matured" and times changed we started an Ugly Christmas Sweater Day contest right before the break. Some teachers didn't need to visit an Aunt or head for the Goodwill. They could just go deep into their closet and pick something out.
Thanks for the memories.
