I think we're all increasingly comfortable seeing the occasional child/cat/etc "intrude" on virtual settings. I don't read it as unprofessional, just a reflection of our current realities...

I think the baby is fine for a minute, maybe she was pregnant or if the baby was screaming, you have to be honest with your kids about what is going on at home. That could be a SEL moment for the class where they are getting to know their teacher a little bit better, as long as its not a daily thing and it was a one time occurance.

Ashley YES YES YES.  Some are getting too comfy with this lay back look.

The necktie and boxer shorts doesn't work for me. The child in the lap doesn't bother me so much, but I don't know what the lady is actually doing.  A college student sent my wife a video of his piano performance test in his boxer shorts.

You should be dressed the part whether you are in person or at home.

Jacob I agree-if you are working virtual or face to face you should be dressed the part

This is pretty much what I look like every day.

I agree with Rondesia. I think teachers are gravitating to this laid back professionalism, but when we got back into the buildings it carried over. At least at my school.

Professional appearance can give a sense of validity/expertise to those you are teaching.  Defining what is professional in a school environment is different depending on what level/subject you are teaching.  I think a college professor would dress differently than  kindergarten teacher.

Left picture- professional from the top, if he has to stand up then he will be in for a rude awakening. Second picture- unprofessional from an attire prospective.

I have found that there is a wide gap between what is considered "school appropriate" attire for men and women

I will add, I made a point while 100% virtual to get fully dressed each day as if I were going into the building. It helped me get into the mindset of work and teaching.

The boundary lines between working and home life have been blurred and people have become extremely comfortable

Art teachers have a different kind of professional attire. We need to look professional but also be okay with possibly getting paint or clay on our clothes.

Business casual, I like that Marissa!

I think attire is more important in in person environment. Back view (room etc) is important for virtual.

knowing the differences

Professional attire used to be a routine though. Easy to forget rules/norms when you've been away form them for a while.

I disagree with the separate standards based on gender identity. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. (i.e. why can't a man wear a skirt professionally if a woman can wear a t-shirt?)

# data[].attributes.body
This is not professional in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
Is this different in a virtual environment? Is top professional fine?

Professional attire = First impression

The top half of the gentleman is professional, Hopefully he does not have to stand up

Contextual, especially now.
