Dear Blessila, You'd be doing that student teacher a great mitzvah (means
"good deed") by gently talking to her about her dress and smell. And yes,
I believe it is part of being a master teacher. She'll never get a job
anywhere unless she fixes the problem. It's part of the job - I think
every teacher evaluation form has a question about whether the person is
well-groomed.
We are professionals and role models, so how we present ourselves (orally
and aurally!) is part of the job.
