i go to school with shoes, but i walk around outside barefoot most of the time. i bring some moccasins, most places i go. in case of emergency, especially since i live in chicago. its a dirty city:/
I attend graduate classes and am a graduate teaching assistant. I started this semester barefoot from day one. (I was barefoot full-time starting spring semester, too - but this semester from day one!) Some professors give me weird stares like - maybe - where did that come from? You know, since it's my third year in grad school and all and it's a change. One of them told me that I'd get the flu. (Well, I might, but from my neighbor's children who are hacking all the time, not from my bare feet.) But no negativity about it. My students don't even care. They've never asked me about it. I suppose it's because they're nervous freshmen.
I went thru undergrad school barefoot. Earned my MA barefoot. Got my teaching credentials barefoot. Now I teach barefoot. No problem with that. I teach at an all-boys private boarding school. Some (a few) of the boys that were in my classes last year started from day 1 of this new school year barefoot . Hugz Bobby
I started barefoot on day 1. In the past, I've done some classes with flip flops and then maybe the 2nd or 3rd barefoot and in others I've started barefoot. At this point, I am intending to do every class barefoot until at least the end of September.
I went barefoot one day to school... didn't go to good got three days dentention for "dress code violation"
I never really got the courage to do this at school. I did sometimes remove my shoes at my desk, but I never got up and walked around school barefoot. In college I know I could probably get away with it but I'm still shy.
I do it quite often (high school) and not many people say anything, cuz they think i'm wearing flip flops or something. It's probably because I wear pretty long pants lol! but you know, it's against the dress code here, so i bring along some flip flops.
I started a part time residential course a couple of years back (6 weekends a year) and have been to every weekend barefoot. The first couple of weekends, I did get a few questions, but since then no-one really cares. It's part of who I am and the way I live, so just do it
Sorry for this somewhat off-topic reply, but the bit about going bare from day one actually seems like it'll be very helpful for me this coming school year. Now I just have to get myself to do it, lol.
Even Though Jaime Is As "Straight As The Day Is Long", I Would Have To Admit, He Does Give Good Barefooting Advice......:cheers2:. Cheers Glen.
