I am a fifth grade teacher, but in the summer I operate heavy equipment at construction sites. I also served 11 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces. I wear my kilt to school, and to work in the summer, (While in the army I was in uniform of coarse)I did get a bit of ribbing the first couple of times that I wore a kilt, but everyone is used to it now, and I haven't heard anything for a long time now.
