You mean, my raggy baggy jeans don't cut it???

I come back to school and cringe. Is it just Americans or do all people nowadays have no sense of class or decorum? Or is it honestly that hard to get dressed in the morning that you're wearing sweats to school? I mean, really. Our professors at least make an effort to look presentable; normally a dress shirt, sometimes even dress pants. Hey, get this: I have one prof. whom I have never seen without a TIE!!!!!! In my opinion, school, especially college, is a profession. So please, please, try to be semi-professional about it. Give the same courtesy to your instructors as you expect from them. This is your job at the moment; treat it that way.

Another thing. It is considered disrespectful and out of order if a professor speaks badly to his peers about his students. But why is this permissable from the other side? They deserve every respect and consideration from us. It's a joint journey here. You can't just take take take. Remember, they don't have to teach us. Give your professor the luxury of an unsullied reputation at least, and keep the little teeny, unimportant annoyances to yourself!!! Unless something is seriously wrong, there is no reason to bring it up to people. Okay? Oh, btw, if anyone of you finds me guilty of doing this same thing, I personally give you permission to hit me. Thank you.
