Mr. Stewart told us today why he only wears polos and khakis while teaching. He said that the consistency in his clothing is preferable over inconsistent clothing to students, and he cites a study he did on the topic in the past.
I find it quite interesting that consistency in a teacher's clothing vs inconsistency in a teacher's clothing actually has an impact on said teacher's students.
Is this a subconscious thought process or do students actually record what their teacher wears everyday? Leave your thoughts below.
I feel like it is mostly subconscious - we generally don't pay too much attention to what one wears on a given day.
ReplyDeleteI think that as human beings, we inclined to feel better when we know what is coming our way. For example, if you prepare for a test using a study guide that has test-like questions, you may feel fairly confident. However, if you have no idea what is on the test, it might make you a bit nervous. The same is true with Mr. Stewarts polos.
