define tee shirts

To the OP: It sounds to me like you know what a t-shirt is but don't want to believe it.

Well, I always show up with a smile on my face, but I'm not always happy. I was going through a really rough divorce for a year and none of my parents knew it. There is just no way to know how someone else truly feels unless they tell you. Sorry, just my honest opinion.

People often underestimate the challenges associated with doing child care and/or teaching. Maybe some of these people should invite 6-7 other parents to bring their children to their home and leave them for 3 hours a day for 2 weeks and see if it is as easy as they think. It is rewarding, but it is challenging to say the least. I also get the feeling that OP(as most child care providers) works at a full-time center.

Six years ago, I had brain surgery. At the time, I worked in a classroom with 3-6 year old children. THere were 25 kids, 2 teachers and 1 assistant. I was out for 3 weeks and most of my parents volunteered to work 1-2 four hour shifts to help with the kids(3 people were not required and the school did not have to send in a substitute). When I came back, I had so many parents come up to me and tell me how much they appreciated what I did every day. One parent told me he had planned to volunteer in the morning and go to work in the afternoon. He actually had to call in sick, because he was so wiped out! LOL

I love it when a poster says that they type/speak/etc. correctly everywhere but on a message board. I would find turning off the correct grammar and spelling to be difficult.

Occasionally misspelling a word or being grammatically incorrect is one thing but doing it consistently makes me think it is just not a message board issue.

Its really no sweat off my back and it doesn't matter to me one way or the other but why not just say "yea, I suck at spelling and grammar." (Except in the case of a teacher I would lie like a rug. )

I think you're reading way too much into what I said. All I said is that I wouldn't want my children to have a teacher who didn't care about English, and while it may be okay in daycare/preschool, I wouldn't accept it any higher than that.

All the other stuff you addressed are things you injected and assumed into my above statement.

What you said was that you hoped she didn't want to be in Preschool forever and was actively trying to move up. Why not? Is there some shame in retiring as a preschool teacher?

It sounded as though you were saying that it should not be a profession someone should want to stay in but just use as a stepping block to something else.

The rest of what I said was in reponse to you and another poster sounding as though you were talking down to the preschool/child care profession.

I believe that the OP honestly doesn't know what a T-shirt is and needs help with this.

OP..."You hate your job? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY and they meet at the bar." The quote is from Drew Carey ("Mr. Parma" and the star of "Sounds Dangerous", among other things). You'll find that you're much happier at work when you focus on the positives and not the negatives.

Good luck with figuring out what is and isn't a T-shirt.

Actually the whole "what is a T-shirt" thing is being actively discussed by employees in my department since our new dress code came out.The majority of us think (as an earlier poster mentioned) that a T-shirt is a shirt with a crew neck that comes out of a Hanes package. A very few people take "no T-shirts" to mean employees must wear a collared shirt. I'm still wearing my non-collared knit tops until told explicitly otherwise. I'm just happy they removed the "must wear hose" that was in the first draft!

Our dress code is business casual....I work in a hospital and I wish they would just let us wear scrubs!

I think posters are being way too hard on the OP re: hating her job. I'm an RN, and many nursing jobs are pretty hateful--the understaffing is dangerous and management would rather save $$$ than increase staffing to improve patient safety. So there are plenty of nurses who hate their jobs....I've been in jobs I hated, but I really enjoyed working with my patients and certainly loved them, not hated them. It was the job conditions I hated, not the work itself. It sounds to me like this is what the OP is saying.

You're right. If they meant no no-collar shirts, they'd have specified that all shirts must have collars (not just necklines).
I once had a job where they upgraded the dress code - women had to wear at least two-inch heels. I can't. I'm clumsy enough in flats. I intended to buy a pair of cheap but appropriate shoes, break off the heels, attach them to cording, and wear them around my neck.

The day before the dress code went into effect, I was granted an exception

FWIW, day care providers make WAY too little
I agree. With everything daycare teachers do we sure dont make enough.

I love doing my job (yet again I have to say this) but I dont like some of the teachers. I work in a daycare with a year round preschool class. I work 9 hours a day in the classroom.

I know I have some nice silk shirts in the T-Shirt style
Maybe the owner doesn'y want TIGHT tshirts, or Tshirts with writing on them.
Or maybe she wants a collared shirt worn. I think the OP needs clarification from the memo writer.

Memo writer isnt in till tommrow. I think I may have a idea whats considered a tee according to her but I want to know for sure.
