Do teachers need a "Proper Attire 101"?

I think the teacher's fashion sense made more of an impact on whether the students in my high school respected them or not. A female teacher wearing a tacky flower-print dress with a big white collar would get a lot less respect than one wearing jeans and a casual blouse. Likewise, a dorky guy in a plaid button-down with a striped tie would be trusted less than a guy in jeans and a light polo shirt.

Oh, and if you're a 50-something creepy social studies teacher in the aforementioned scalloped dress with poofy sleeves, with caked-on makeup that somehow still manages to look wet, don't proudly tell your students that you're still a virgin. You will not, in fact, gain their respect. You will merely gain yourself a slew of vicious pranks and vandalism in your classroom.
