I feel being a teacher should not limit your personal life. As a teacher we are role models to the students, but we are also people outside of school. I do not think school districts should imply rules that impact our personal life outside of school hours. I think it is important to always act respectful and realize that you are teacher and need to be professional, but that should not set requirements on how you live. As a teacher, we teach students what is wrong and what is right. Therefore, we should know what is wrong and what is right when we are on personal time. It is important to remember that teachers can have fun too, but we are still role models outside of the classroom as well. We need to constantly gain the trust of the students and their parents.

I believe that inside of the school just like most other jobs, it is okay to limit things like dress code and personal grooming.  Outside of school grounds I don't think that teachers should be limited.  Teachers are constantly in the light because parents want good role models for their children, but outside of schools they should not be held to a different standard than any other role model may be.  Role models come in different shapes and sizes and if the students teacher is held to different standards than say an aunt or uncle it is unfair to say that they have more of an impact, because outside of school they don't. Although I do believe this I still think it is important to be professional and appropriate in and outside of school anytime dealing with students.

In my opinion, just because my occupation is to be surrounded by children, I should not be required to limit what I do in my personal life. As a teacher, of course my goal is to become a role model to the children and be the best I can be, but that does not mean I am going to limit my personal life. What I do at home in my free time does not affect what I do in school and it shouldn't. However, social media is different. Not only teachers, but I think that most adults should be motoring what they post on social media. Social media posts are made for everyone to see and something inappropriate can cost you a whole career. Teachers, especially, who are surrounded by children need to be aware of what they and others may be posting of them on social media. Anything questionable can and will be reported and many parents will most likely be upset.

I feel like my role as a teacher should not limit my life outside of school, but to a certain extent. In school and outside of school I keep it completely professional. However, if you are 21 and want to go out for a drink or two with your friends, than you are absolutely aloud to do that with no questions asked. In addition, if you are a smoker then you need to keep that to yourself because not everyone needs to know that. Being a role model is very important for teachers and they need to make the right decisions at all times because now a days with social media you never know what a student or faculty member might dig up. If a teacher has social media he or she should just be aware of what they put up and they should make sure it is appropriate. For clothing I believe that teachers should dress professionally but they do not have to over do it. As for grooming, if a male teacher wants to grow a beard then he should be able too, but again to a certain extent. Having an unnecessarily long beard shouldn't be aloud but if it is a normal length then they should be able to have one. All in all, just because you are a teacher does not mean you  have to limit what you do outside of school, you just need to be smart about it and make sure what you are doing is appropriate and professional.

I feel that my role as a teacher should limit my life in or outside of the school. How we act in or out of school will affect our students. They look to us as role models. They will think what we do is okay for them to do. So, if a female teacher dresses and shows a little too much skin then the students will feel that's okay. If a male teacher treats his female students with disrespect, then his male students may follow him. I do think they should be a little more lenient on controlling what teachers wear. They should have to dress appropriate, but not as formal. Those clothes cost money that most teachers don't have. Also, they should be worried about what a tattoo is rather than the fact that it's there. I want a tattoo on my wrist something for my grandpa and great grandpa, but back in Minnesota I have a slim chance of being hired if I have a visible tattoo. I'm also going to have to take out most of my earrings. The school boards do have to regulate these things though.

Personally, I feel as if my role as a teacher and my personal life should be kept separate. With that being said, I feel as if our generation are much more involved with social media compared to the past. Things posted on social media such as pictures with adult beverages, revealing or provocative images, or even curse words may be frowned upon in some school districts. Even though you're legal to drink, cuss, smoke, etc.. there is no exact reason to have your social media page filled with things of that nature. Being a teacher comes along with being a role model to the students you're in the classroom with as well as the children in your community. Although everyone has their own personal time, you need to be taken seriously if you want parents to trust in you and believe in you as well as your faculty. However, I do think it is essential to stick to your personality and to your own beliefs. Teachers are not robots and authenticity goes a long way, but they are  role models and influences to children. Keeping work and personal life separate is key.

I feel that being a teacher should not limit what you do in your personal life. I know becoming a teacher is something that limits what you do on social media, but it should not limit what you do anywhere else. I agree it will be weird at first seeing your students outside of school, and I know that because my mom always tells me how weird it is seeing her students outside of school. Just because you’re a teacher, it does mean you have to maintain a teacher outside of the school. Now the example of grooming and dress accordingly, that is where I agree with it. Being well groomed and dressing nicely should be already known for teachers. You don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed or look lazy. At the end of the day, teachers are human beings and what they do out of school, should be up to them. On the other hand, what they do in school should totally be about the kids and dress code should be acted accordingly.

I do not think that your role as a teacher should limit what you do in your personal life. Teachers are like everyone else they have lives, they go out and enjoy their time with friends and family. With any job people should be careful of what they post on social media. You should not post anything that they do not want their students to see or the parents of those students.  When coming to work though teachers should dress appropriately for what they are doing.  Teachers are going to work to teach children so they should be dressing conservatory. I wouldn’t want to go to a school where my teachers aren’t wearing much.  I do not think it is very respectful. If a teacher dresses like a bum then the students will not take him or her seriously. A teacher is there to teach students not there to hang out and chill.

I do not feel like my role as a teacher should limit what I do in my personal life. If you are a teacher or any other occupation, I feel as if you should be able to do what you please in your own time. Also, I feel that what you do outside of the classroom should not effect how you behave in the classroom as a teacher. For example, you should not let your sons little league baseball game become a distraction during class. the students who are in front of you are what you are responsible for at the moment and you should treat them with respect if you want that respect back in return. I believe that this is a pretty easy concept to understand and the great teachers are those who are able to understand this. I don't believe that a so called "dress code" should be required for teachers, but I believe that there should be an unwritten rule that teachers should come to school looking professionally. Teachers should dress professionally so students respect the teacher and will take them serious.

Limiting what I do in my personal life is nothing new to me. Being said, as a man who had to represent our nation overseas (not only in war) but while on stops to such places as Dubai and Hong Kong, I understand full-heartedly why image matters so much. However benign said, I also understand why the ability to stand out also matters so much more. I believe that grooming standards, dress code, and certain restrictions on tattoos and piercings need to be in place because as a teacher (or in my past a "world traveler") you represent that professional image that every business and school district wants to find in its students and future employees. Also with tattoos, some can be deemed offensive or even scary to certain ethnicity groups and/or small children (ironically I plan on getting completely tatted up.) So unless the dress code makes you wear long sleeves, I can see why tattoos can limit you in any job field. You, as a teacher, are some of the most professional people children see, and sadly some of the most professional people children may know and your image has to match;just as you expect your students to respect all others beliefs and restrict them from what they say or how they dress, than how can you not expect the same to be said about you as the leader of the classroom? When part of a larger group, whether it be as a student, a Marine, a teacher, or a member of a corporation, the idea of "your own image" over that of others or the business, gets tossed. This is just scratching the surface, I won't even bother getting into the realm of social media.

I personally do not believe that teachers should have to limit their personal lives. Yes, teachers are supposed to be role models, but having a tattoo or piercing does not label a teacher or anyone as a negative influence. Although, if there is anything inappropriate about a teacher it should be taken care. The tattoos that one may have should all be appropriate especially when working with younger students. Dress codes should not be established for teachers but they are professionals and should dress professionally and appropriately. Teachers are held to a very high standard and they should fulfill those standards. I believe how a teacher acts is more important than how they look. Since they are role models they need to be respectful of themselves and others. Teachers should behave in a responsible manner and be a positive influence. Their private lives are there private lives but smart decisions are important. Overall the looks of a teachers are not nearly as important as the behavior of a teacher.

In my opinion , I do not think that a teacher should be limited in what they do in their personal lives. Teachers have personalities
and their own taste in what they like to partake in. I would not want to be restricted in doing the things I like to do. I agree that a teacher should have a dress code and all, but I do not think it is fair for teachers to be restricted on what they wear outside of school. What is that teaching the students? That you cannot be free to be who you are and be something that you are not? I would want for my students to have their own identities and style. I would hate to see one of my future students being restricted  on their
hobbies or fashion they could partake in. Teachers are humans as well. I do agree that a teacher should present themselves as professionals in their classrooms by wearing appropriate attire, groomed, speak appropriately, and so on. Teachers do set examples for their students. If the student looks at an unwell-dressed teacher who has crazy hair with coffee stains on their shirts, they will not take that teacher seriously and follow that example. Teachers should have a certain image when it comes to their jobs, but when it comes to their personal lives: let them be.

As my role as a teacher,  I should not limit what I do in my personal life. Teachers are still human beings at the end of the day, they are just held to a higher standard. Therefore, I think that there should be no inappropriate behavior and they should be responsible for their actions outside of the classroom, but since teachers know this then they should be able to do things they want as well. I agree with having dress codes and dressing right for the job. I feel if teachers did not follow this they would not be taken as seriously or appear lazy. If a teacher looks less professional to me, I would not want to take the teacher seriously. Especially for children, they look up to you as role models. Therefore, we should dress and act professionally towards them and help them further their education.
