My DD is in year 6 so is 10. She was told yesterday that she has to wear tights because her skirt is short. It is just above her knees so not short really. I know as the weather is getting cold she will probably want to wear tights or trousers any way but something doesn't sit right with me about her being asked to cover herself up. Why would she have to wear tights? In case shock horror someone sees a flash of her under wear whilst she is running or playing? It seems like she is still so young to be having to worry about covering her self up to appease people. And just in case it is suggested, it wasn't because it was cold, it was expressly said because her skirt was 'too short' as her friend, also not wearing a mini skirt, was told the same thing last week.
