    Cheers to my fellow educators! Are you kilted in the classroom?
    I said "trick" in jest. Since my students are so young there's no homework or tests, just lots of hands-on experiments and investigations. Most days I feel like my class is a mix of Bill Nye the Science Guy and Monty Python.

    Occasionaly. At my school we have what I call Casual Kilted Friday. We do that once a month (although I missed september). I am the only one that does it though. I have found that once a month is all that I can get my principal to agree to. That is ok with me though. It can be a distraction when teaching teenagers.

    I haven't been as yet, but then I'm on leave at present, and have only recently gotten properly kilted; I expect to wear a kilt to class on a regular basis next fall. Then again, I'm at a university, and no one expects me to dress in any particular way; indeed, I have been known to use my clothing for pedagogical purposes. I have oft-kilted colleagues in several departments, from my own (English & Film Studies) to Engineering on the richer side of the campus, and I would have been deeply pleased to have had kilted teachers when I was young, or in the schools my kids attended.
