I can only speak for Germany, of course, but there is no dress code for teachers here. But - every teacher will avoid dressing like Sophia when she takes off her jacket. At least a teacher would do it only once simply because the resulting unrest in the class would disturb her lessons. The students would be permanently distracted and there would be no end to the whispering. From the side of the school management would only influence the dress code if the learning performance of the students would suffer permanently. I asked a school director once.
Women like to be perceived as sexy - but not at all times and not by everyone! And that includes 99.99% of students most class days of the year.
It's in this context that you have to see Sophia's unequivocal reaction to sexually groping Aiden. Although in Germany hitting children by teachers in school has been forbidden for a long time, no one will be surprised if a student gets a clear answer from the teacher. The flat hand slap was understandable because Sophia was surprised and already upset by the behavior of the two, Aiden and Andre, and it was justified.
I can agree to all that you wrote except how she couldn't dress like that in real life teaching.
When i was going to school, we had many female teachers that wore thin blouses (with bras) with mid thigh skirts,
or thin mid thigh summer dresses. Even more so during the summer time (90-105 degrees).
Unless things have changed, American public schools have Tenure, meaning that after a teacher has worked in the same school district for a couple of years, they have full job security protected by the teacher’s union, and can’t be fired except for the most egregious transgression. Sophia does NOT have tenure. Many teachers I’ve known had tenure, and it clearly affected their attitude of what they could and could not do, and probably what they could wear.
Hitting a student wasn’t allowed in my youth, although the faculty often found ways around that. Sophia slapping Andre would technically be reason to fire her, but in reality would likely be overlooked if there was any reasonable claim that Andre touched her first. In my day, swearing at a student could, and did, get teachers fired. Sophia swears like a sailor at Aiden. Maybe things have changed now.
My school days were during the micro-miniskirt fad. Teacher upskirt crotch shots were a nearly everyday occurrence there for a few years. It became almost routine, and although I always looked for them and enjoyed the sight, now I can only specifically remember a couple of the wilder ones. It was always white cotton panties then. There were certainly no thongs then. Pantyhose or the occasional bare legs – no stockings or garters. The braless fad was just starting as I graduated. I never saw a braless teacher during classroom hours. Just once at an after school formal function when a married MILF wore a halter top braless, along with a micro-miniskirt. She had Tenure.
When my kids were in high school, at parent-teacher conferences and open houses, I caught an upskirt or two, and plenty of short skirts, and one or two nice cleavage shots. I don't know if they were unaware of what those outfits did to teen boys, or didn't care.
One of my kid’s teachers, in her first year of teaching, was the closest to Sophia I’ve ever seen, except younger and single. The hottest teacher I’ve ever known. At a graduation ceremony, she wore a skirt very similar to Sophia’s Task 4 skirt: just that tight and that short over an equally sexy body, along with an equally tight sweater. She was parading around at the front of the assembly that way, and impossible not to notice. But she was gone the next year, presumably not retained for whatever reasons. She did NOT have tenure.
I think that Sophia would cause a bit of a ruckus if she was swaying and jiggling her large mature breasts through the halls in her Task 2 dress much. Wearing a blazer and removing it in the classroom like Task 4 is the way to avoid other adults taking notice. It seems to me that Principal Johnson is a do-nothing guy, and he made a pass at Sophia her first day, so IMO I don’t think he’s likely to intervene much in her dress choices, unless someone really pressures him to.
