French has gotten a few rare gigs as a supply teacher at the school where I teach recently. This is great, but I've noticed a change...and outward one.
French has cut his hair, and trimmed his facial hair. He has also really altered his wardrobe. I work in the tech wing so I try to blend in with denim and plaid. When he comes down to our end of the school he really stands out. He has taken to wearing a tweed jacket, tie, and khakis. French has also started to wear very hip thick rimmed glasses (non-prescription lenses). To finish it all off he wears Chuck Taylors. He even carries around a leather satchel/briefcase.
I asked him: "What's with the get-up?"
He replied: "Just looking the part."
He explained that he was trying to look academic, yet cool. French says, "that you gotta be down with the kids and the admin."

That was always my problem, I could never "look the part".
Kids seemed to like it that way though, but not Admin.
