Lulz, she must be a a Saudi teacher
I can see why it was reprimanded. It doesn't look professional. It's fine as a general outfit but not at work. And those boots.......yikes.

had a teacher in 8th grade that dressed like a typical teenage girl and as such she was often grabbed by the arm by other teachers asking her why she wasn't in class as she'd stand in the hall way for a minute or so after the bell just to make sure there where no stragglers late to class before she shut the door. she never got in trouble. she also had a tramp stamp that you could catch a glimpse of if she bent over. she never got in trouble.
yeah the boots are kinda a weird choice for work but all and all I see nothing wrong.

I understand that some places are more lenient than others. But a standard must be upheld. Just because some weren't reprimanded doesn't mean that this leniency IS the standard which we must abide by.
Where I studied, teachers always wore a uniform.
Shirts in general colours (blue and gray), not tight, full-sleeves, buttoned up until just below the collarbone. Skirts (not tight; just simple A-line cut) were down until the calves. Shoes were black; 1-inched heel and fully closed (no high heels, no wedge or peep toe)
Hair and jewelry were also regulated.
It worked really well for us. As a student, it taught us to behave and project ourselves modestly. When we got older, that's when choices on how to present oneself in the world becomes available.
It's fine to express and assert one's individuality and all that. But there are limits; there's a time and place for everything. Teachers and schools are often called a student's second parent and home. How she dresses is a way she presents herself. This can and will influence her students (subconsciously). The image and reputation of the school will also get affected as she is an employee there and represents the establishment.
These little actions may seem harmless to some but there are underlying effects that people often overlook.

if shes wearing that then clearly their is no uniform policy, and I see nothing wrong with the outfit. as said the boots are a weird choice, but still nothing wrong with them.
what you said did make remember a school I had gone to once caused a uproar though as they implemented a uniform on the students but not the teachers.
I think it's dumb she was scolded. I'm sure her bosses are all people with standards of the 1950s. Same kind of people who suspended that young black kid last year for having a tiny bit of his hair shaved off. Bunch of idiots. This is the story of the kid who was suspended for his haircut.

Sounds like something my school would've done. Unnatural hair color was banned until my classmates started a petition in 8th grade. They wanted to "preserve the reputation of the school"
