What an amusing thread
Horses for courses, surely. If my student were a big businessman who was prepared to pay me a decent rate for the job, like the rate I pay my solicitor and accountant for instance, then it would only be courteous to were the sort of get up he expects.
On the other hand, would you expect your golf professional or you local youth footie coach to wear a shirt & tie to work? Of course not (or am I mistaken?).
Remember guys, the world is bigger than your favourite job.
