AIBU to challenge the school’s wording about pupils rolling skirts up?

Yes I said few. Not a few.

Usually most people understand that phrase to mean such a small number it is hardly worth bothering about.

I certainly wasn't a 'trial for my own teachers' thanks. Ae you suggesting I'm thick now that I'm the only one to challenge your weird monkey likening?

Likening girls behaviour to that of moneys is neither nice, appropriate or relevant. Did I see you were an ex teacher?

They are intentionally mooning. Bad in boys, bad in girls. Don’t care who does it, mooning is indecent exposure and as such not something i want to see. The end.

PP on here might thing we should just ignore they are doing whatever they want with their bodies right?

No I wouldn’t complain. My child’s school has the same problem with girls rolling their skirts up so high that knickers are on display at the back. It’s such a problem the school are considering a uniform change to trousers only.

We're talking about secondary school children. So, young girls.

Anyway. Young girls/teens/young women whatever. None are like primates waving their 'sweaty arse cheeks' about to 'communicate something'

Actually having started the thread about the wording of an email I can confirm that it was indeed about the act of girls “rolling their skirts up to be a bit shorter than regulation”. I think I may also have said somewhere that the majority of the girls doing so wear black tights too. Perhaps I should have made that clearer.

Nevertheless it is astonishing to me how quickly the majority of posters jumped to talking about “sweaty arse cheeks”, “flashing knickers” and “privates on display” and pages and pages of similar language including comparing girls and young women to primates. Yes as someone pointed out earlier, this is a site that allows comment and debate and differing of opinions but some people on this thread have lost the run of themselves.

They might have whilst at school but I doubt it. They all wore tights at our schools anyway so 'sweaty cheeks' and these traumatising gussets would never have been visible. I wouldn't ever judge girls as nastily as has been evident on this thread though whatever the uniform was.

My point is teachers should teach. Full stop. I have no interest in their opinions on school attire or men's 'uncomfortable feelings'.

The right colour and emblem should suffice.

Sorry, what?

Safeguarding fine, obviously <backtracking from your monkey comparison and pretending to understand safeguarding?> mocking and judging young girls as we've seen alleged ex teachers do here, not so fine.

I shouldn't have to 'lobby' anyone just stop sending out tedious emails about lunch boxes, socks, trousers and skirts and teach our kids.

But you weren’t even happy with most of your kids teacher’s teaching but you’re more exercised on this thread than you were in RL by that situation by the sounds of it

and so your never ever saw your daughter leave your home not conforming to the uniform code. Ok, right so that’s where you’re coming from

My point is teachers should teach. Full stop.

And I'm sure they'd love their responsibilities to stop there too.

Do you not realise the huge responsibility for safeguarding which teachers have nowadays?

If you think all these extra worries should be taken off their workload, please lobby the Education Secretary - I'm sure teachers would be delighted!

Oh, Gloriia! You must have been a trial for your own teachers...now you know that's not what I said. Dearie me.

I'm not mocking young women...I'm trying to point out the absurdity of what a small minority of teenage girls do. I assume it's a very small minority?? I've seen 4 examples at close range (eeeuuww) and wish I hadn't, but don't know how widespread the issue is.

Pointing out absurd behaviour is allowed. It doesn't equate to mocking all young women, as you innaccurately put it.

It’s not a nice sight either, but at least their genitals aren’t on show!

I’m right in reading that your own daughters never did this @Gloriia and adhered strictly with uniform code ?
