I agree, Ana. Leading by example . . . Can't believe I said that, I'm sounding like my mother hmm! I think things have perhaps become a little too relaxed - my son's teacher used to put his feet up on his desk! Discuss!!!

I don't suppose it sends a very good message to the pupils if teachers can't be bothered to dress smartly for what is, after all, a very responsible job.

Teachers at Acland Burghley, a specialist comprehensive school in London specialising in the arts, have been criticised by Ofsted as being scruffy.

Shouldn't they be focussing on the standards of teaching and learning rather than stressing about suits.
