Tie? Even most of IBM doesn't require ties anymore.

But fair is fair. Where students have to wear a uniform, teachers should too, even if not a true uniform but "proper business attire".

Aside from in those places, a "no spandex" (well, no 100% spandex) rule and some of the other ones discussed in the article (no showing midriff, cleavage, etc... gotta give the boys practice doing the undressing with their eyes :-) ) are probably appropriate, but trying to keep teacher dress codes in line with 1950s corporate dress codes seems kind of silly.
