Today, the principal of the school I teach at told me she's not interested in re-hiring me because sometimes I wear a hoodie. FML
TeachAllTheMath tells us more.
OP here, two years later I am still working at the same school (in my beloved hoodies). The principal that told me this was not renewed for the following year, so luckily our head of school valued competent teachers over well dressed ones. I work at a charter school who encourages teachers to dress comfortably so we can go outside to play soccer, or get on the floor to do small groups, and I was in “dress code” according to the crew handbook, the principal was just a snob.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's a shame that people like this are in charge of hiring those teaching others.

It depends on the context. If the OP works in a private school, then maybe they are preferred wearing uniforms. Sometimes some schools want more professional outfits. :/ I'm sorry for the job loss.

Some schools have a stricter dress code that others, even for teachers, at my high school teacher couldn't wear jeans except on pep rally days, the elementary school across the street had a more relaxed dress code though. So unless it's your local team on that hoodie and its game day I can't see some schools letting you get away with that.

Honestly, I've never had a teacher that wore a hoodie. Teachers are supposed to dress up more

80 - Why should the year invalidate professional appearance standards? Hoodies are workout and home wear, not suitable for an office. Would you wear sweatpants to work at a bank?

At my old school the councilor would come in sweats and a bob marly t-shirt. It's perfectly normal for teachers to wear hoodies.
