And this is the face of absolute exhaustion.
Exhaustion and, apparently, really awkward hands...
But, today, I'd like to talk about an issue near and dear to my heart. Something I'm extremely passionate about. Something I am wholly against as an educator.
"Pajama Day".
It never fails. Each and every year, my class asks me if we can do a "pajama and movie party and we can, like, bring pillows and EVERYTHING!".
My repsonse: Um. No. School is YOUR job. Teaching school is MY job. We do not wear our pajamas to our jobs. Can you think of a job in which you wear pajamas to work? No, you can't. I am preparing you for the real world. You're welcome.
Plus, you're children. You can wear super-comfy clothes and sneakers every day and you look perfectly acceptable.
Anyway, I am adamantly against allowing my students to devote a day to a "pajama party". That's totally not why their parents pay taxes. I'll reward them with a movie, but in conventional clothing. I don't think that's too much to ask.
But you can make up outfits that are pajama-like and super comfy. Like this one. Perfect for when you haven't slept through the night in a few days and are expected to look...professional.
