<p>It’s time for teachers to pull up their socks, especially since students in the City are watching them with inquisitive eyes. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Being a role model to students is a part of the job. As much as a teacher is appreciated for his or her knowledge of a particular subject, his or her sense of style is equally important. <br /><br />In fact, many students have expressed that they want their teachers to dress tastefully.<br />In a survey conducted among 200 students of classes 10 and 11, by DPS Bangalore South, it was found that students would like their teachers to carry themselves with ‘style and confidence’. <br /><br />This survey was shared with Metrolife by one of the teachers, Kavita Ghosh from the DPS Bangalore South. <br /><br />It reveals that the students would prefer to have their teachers come to classroom in matched, smart and ironed clothes. <br /><br />Other revelations include that they would like their teachers to wear a moderate amount of make-up and avoid dark and loud colours in school. <br /><br />If they paint nails, they should maintain the manicure and ensure that they don’t come to the classroom with chipped or flaky polish. <br /><br />Gaudy-coloured clothes should also be avoided by the teachers in the school. <br /><br />Suggestions given by the students included ‘pastel shades or anything that is simple but smart at the same time’. <br /><br />Teachers should ensure that they don’t repeat the same outfit in a five-day time span. <br />“If teachers don’t present themselves well in class, there is a tendency not to respect them much — even if their teaching is very good. Teachers play an influential role in all aspects and in these matters too,” says Aradhana Kamal, a student of a <br />City college.<br /><br />In fact, many students also admit that they feel their teachers should pay attention to their footwear. <br /><br />According to the survey, they believe that their teachers should steer clear of slippers. <br />Footwear, they feel, should be casual and perfectly match the outfit.<br /><br />“Teachers have an impact on the students, whether it is in terms of behaviour or<br />dressing. For instance, there are many dress restrictions in my college which are <br />followed very strictly. If a teacher dresses over the top, we wouldn’t think twice before wearing something we aren’t supposed to either,” opines Pushpanjali Borthakur, a student of MS Ramaiah College of Arts and Science. <br /><br />“Teachers are looked upon as role models. It is true that students are there to learn. But it is only natural that they observe the way their teachers dress. <br /><br />Students learn a lot from their teachers and imbibe their ways. It’s important that teachers know that they are being watched,” says Kavita Ghosh. <br /><br />She’s quick to add, “But that doesn’t mean a student should disrespect a teacher.”<br /></p>
