Hello everyone,

I have recently started working at a small music school full-time and I'm required to wear a polo shirt with the school's name written in huge fonts on my back every day. I don't know if it's just me...but I feel embarrassed...I don't think it shows any professionalism. What do you think?

Yeah I would feel weird too. Maybe its so they can identify you as a teacher and not some stranger who has walked onto school grounds. Do all the teachers have to wear it? Usually a name tag to pin to your shirt is enough.

Yeah. The receptionist at the counter and teachers have to wear this polo shirt...and to think that I have to wear this most of the time in public transport every day...lunch break and all. Not to be offensive, but when I wear it, I feel like a salesperson or those workers at the gas station rather than a teacher :'/

Haven't seen that before at a music school in my city. It is usually just business dress, if there is a dress code. Maybe a t-shirt for everyone to wear at public performances so a bunch of singing students look like a school on stage.

My piano teacher wore a house dress. Skirt was below the knee. Full collar usually.
No brand visible. Obviously this wasn't recent. Oh, I miss the fifties.
