Being a middle school teacher, I always think my students have alterior motives when asking me to do something. However, recently I failed to wear my kilt on the burns holiday (as I usually do) and have been getting questions/requests to wear it. They are usually from the same students. However, today I had a student tell me they want me to wear my kilt this week. I wonder, what is the alterior motive here? I am not going to wear it so they can play some funny joke or something similair. I wonder if my student is sincere. If you were in the same situation, what would you be thinking?

I would love to hear from my fellow teachers (specifically high school and middle school), but anyone is welcome to comment.
