For several years the school district I worked for REQIRED male teachers to wear ties. Except coaches. As an art teacher bending over while working with paint and clay the tie was always getting in the way, in a child's face or in the goo.. One day the idea came to me to wear a bowtie. I wore it for two years not as a statement of any kind except maybe to say I was a practical person meeting requirements without concern for what people might think. Sometimes I wore a $5 Bolo tie with a scorpion encased in clear resin. Another art teacher I knew had student made neckties hanging from strings around the room. When an administrator visited he would take the nearest one down and casually put it on.
