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

If only that stopped such name calling.

So, if someone judges one of your daughters, for a choice she has made, and calls her a slut or a whore, will you be happy with that, @CricketIsASport? If you say it is OK to use these slurs against some girls, you open the door for every girl to be insulted like this.

I am NOT at ALL comfortable with calling girls such vile names, @CricketIsASport - it is appalling. Would you call them these names yourself? To their faces? Or do you just applaud others who make misogynist insults towards girls?

Yes, who dress normally and don't flash their arse at school

And there we have it. Well done you.

I don't get worked up, I just stick to my guns and for example on this thread I cannot stand the appalling way some of you are sneering at school girls 'sweaty arse cheeks'.

I do agree that the language is…. Just unpleasant

do you have daughters @CricketIsASport ?

😂

Never heard of you hun. Have you struggled to challenge my opinions on other threads perchance?

I'm a principled person and call out bollocks Always politely though.

I'm fine with calling them that if they dress like this. Calling it what it is.

And surely you must be aware that on the majority of threads that you get very worked up about and you are disagreeing with the vast majority? Surely?

Can you just confirm what you think a reasonable uniform code would be @Gloriia ? Upthread you said only “no high heels” and no tripping hazard.

but aside from that… skirts any length?

Are you talking about me? If so I'm hardly a 'contrarian' to say fine support uniform policy just do so without the sneers, slurs and misogyny. We've had tramps, whores, baboons and like dirty old men flashing in the park. That ok with you, is that how you think we should talk about school girls, hmm?

I'm a 'contrarian' because I call out misogyny whenever I see it. Riiiight .

And far far far from the first time

I think she's a contrarian. Trying to purposely find disagreement and arguement.

Because I suspect you would have loved to have gone hell to leather about the right of your girls to wear whatever length skirt they want and that the teachers should focus on teaching.

Or maybe not? Considering you were appalled at most of the teaching your kids received throughout their time at school but could only bring yourself to eye roll

'My god' why would I be disappointed?!

It's perfectly possible to have kids adhering to uniform policy whilst rolling my eyes at Miss measuring some poor girl's skirt length in the playground or pointing at the wrong shoes of another.

I just wonder if it's a psychological thing. We know many teachers often hate their jobs and struggle with the challenges. Maybe the uniform control instills some kind of importance and boosts their ego? Who knows. All very weird.

I think it's a perfectly normal response that people would experience revulsion at school at being forced to see the buttocks - sweaty or otherwise - of ANY of the girls, boys, male teachers, female teachers, admin staff, catering staff, facilities staff or cleaning staff.

It's just that, of all of those groups of people that you routinely see at a school, only certain members of the first one are actually choosing to display their buttocks and making everybody see them whilst going about their normal day.

my god I bet you were disappointed your kids were such uniform conformists! 🤭

Our dc were great. Never had a detention, I never got summoned to anyone's office. We instilled the need to respect teachers, difficult though that was at times.

I had friends, family and even passing acquaintances though y'see. Just because ours generally adhered to the rules doesn't mean I didn't witness others who didn't. I don't want kids being sent home for the wrong trousers, the wrong shoes or the wrong socks. Do you?

Priorities are fucked in some schools, sadly.

When you say you agree with a uniform code and that it should be “no high heels” or tripping hazards… is that the extent of your uniform code wish @Gloriia ?

Yes, supposing we lived in a magical utopia where nobody was ever remotely violent, aggressive, abusive, threatening, unkind or anything else negative whatsoever towards other people, and we lived in a world of pure kindness, friendliness, sincere philanthropy and respect... most of us still wouldn't want to see people walking around with their underwear and private body parts on show.

In fact, anybody insisting on dressing that way would indeed blow the idea of kindness and respect for other people out of the water, and actually spoil that perfect harmonious society singlehandedly.

Who has said 'hushed toned with niceties'? Just leave out the sneers, slurs, insults and misogyny. Rtft it's full of them.

'Little darlings' of course should be called out for their behaviour. It's such a shame that some don't know the difference between that and the non stop revulsion at schoolgirl's 'sweaty arses' that we've seen on here.
