　　Have you noticed a change in NBA players’ dress since the new season began in November?

　　All players, including Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson, put on business casual clothes whenever they participate in team or league activities．

　　Don’t be surprised．It’s not like your idol is saying goodbye to hip-hop culture．

　　They do so only because of the new dress code that NBA has introduced to distance the sport away from gangster chic(痞子气的时髦)．

　　The rules ban baggy jeans, sneakers(运动鞋)and oversized gold and silver jewellery on many occasions including when players arrive and leave games and make promotional(宣传的)appearances．Jeans must be smart dress jeans．

　　Players will also now be required to wear a sport coat on the bench when they are not in uniform．The NBA already requires its coaches to wear sport coats, dress shirts, slacks(便装裤子)and shoes on the bench．

　　Suns forward Shawn Marion thinks it’s a good move：“I think it is appropriate, definitely, on the bench．I think you should be in a nice shirt and slacks．”

　　But others have a different view on the dress code．Denver Nuggets centre Marcus Camby and Charlotte Bobcats guard Brevin Knight said that players should receive extra money to cover clothing costs．Allen Iverson has even said he would fight such a rule．

　　When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers．

　　For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year．

　　Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before．”

　　Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music．

　　When students were reading S．E．Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30 minute play with scenes from the book．Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book．Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book．

　　The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils．It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns own even win national honors．

　　As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the more year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokes woman for education．Not surpassingly．She is a big believe in the white of acts education．She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as act or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that notiusters them to come back to school day after day．
