Dress-Down Economics
High School | Learning
| July 4, 2016
(I work at a private school that covers all grades, and I teach math from 7th to 12th grade. After lunch, I stop into a class to ask another teacher a question when one of my 7th graders approaches me.)
Student: “Mrs. [My Name], are you rich?”
Me: “No, I’m a teacher. We don’t make that much. Why do you think I’m rich?”
Student: “Because you wear dresses everyday.”
Me: “I just like dresses.”
Student: “But they’re nice dresses! You must be rich.”
(All of my dresses come as gifts from family or from thrift stores or clearance racks, and I wear them over the cheapest leggings I can find. But I guess they make me look rich!)
