More about the NIE dress code....

[This post courtesy of NIE com lab...]

I just realised something about the dress code on the way up to the library....

Read and compare the code for males and females.

For females:
P6200003
Click on photo for a larger size...

And for males:
P6200004
Again, click for larger size...

Notice the difference in the two? Only to be expected, right, because of dressing differences between the two sexes.

However, here's an interesting thought:

Does that mean that it is acceptable attire, if men wear skirts that are 4 finger lengths above the knee, expose their midriffs, their bare backs, or if they decide to wear spaghetti straps, tubes and tank tops? [As a sidenote, are there any men in NIE right now who want to test out this loophole? :p]

Hmmm..... NIE might think about how they want to phrase their signage in the future.........

oh yes, i love your blog, very refreshing... i was getting all jaded from thirteen years and four generations of teaching... but note, you might have to be about as circumspect as tym once you get posted to school... or you might end up like me - hahahaha!
