I don't share your hesitation in imposing values on students. They'd better get used to it. For most of them, what they wear will be important in getting and keeping a job. I don't expect them to come to class in a tuxedo or even ready to go to a house of worship. But I do expect them to come to class dressed. It's what grownups are expected to do in our society. It may not be fair, but life isn't fair.
A couple weeks ago in a house of worship, I sat behind a young woman wearing a spaghetti-strap tank top and short shorts. Her bra was visible, as was her thong. Now I understand it was a scorchingly hot day, but I managed to cover my underwear and not succumb to heatstroke, as did the other women in the church. Just saying that what they wear to class, some of them also wear to church. Which really makes me wonder what they've been taught... And I have a young man in my class who only pulls his sweatpants up to mid-thigh, clearly revealing 90% of his boxer shorts, every day. I must say, he has quite a collection of boxers. I just wish I didn't know that about a student. |

Can't you have a rule for your classroom similar to the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rules?
Something along the lines of "If I can see your underwear you must be in your bedroom. As this isn't your bedroom, you will be asked to leave until you can finish dressing."

Might not be a student, but near campus and of note.
A woman wearing frumpy sweatpants that are low enough that you can see her ass crack and (wait for it)....high heels.

This is something I'll NEVER understand. Not about the crack but the sweatpants and heels. Talk about TACKY. |

There was a group of what looked to be new students on a walking tour this afternoon. The group was about 2/3 male, the student leader was female and she had only slightly more clothing on than a Hooters waitress.

I hope my niece wasn't in that group. And no, she wouldn't be the guide. She is a new student.
But hey, I bet the guide had the full and undivided attention of the guys!

This isn't worth starting a new thread, but does fall under the category of things I wish I hadn't seen.
As I was lecturing this morning, I happened to look down at a student's desk in the front row. Right along side his notebook was a pile of fingernail clippings (rippings?).

I hadn't seen this thread until today- but I think this will fit in well.
In my large lecture class last year one of my students apparently had to rush to work after class and decided to wear her work uniform to class to save time.
She worked at hooters
It was very distracting and I ended up lecturing to the other side of the class.

I witnessed today:
First ever sighting of jeggings.
Young men in shorts, slide-on sandals, and tall black socks. (I had hoped that look would not reappear this spring. It has.)

I saw the legendary Lane Bryant jeggings in action today. (Kind of mesmerizing, actually.)
