Hi

I've had a long running thread about my dd's school not allowing girls to wear trousers as part of uniform.. Can't link as on phone. Anyway, all attempts to get school to change policy have failed and due to dd crying with the cold last week we got her a Dr note and she is now wearing trousers.

I still want this ridiculous rule changed though. I have a meeting with my MO tomorrow to try and get his support and to float the idea that it should be illegal for schools to discriminate in this manner as it is in employment situations.

Anyway, any tips for me ahead of the meeting? I've hardly slept al week and am far from feeing at the top of my game

Good luck with this Fish. I really cant believe that we fought for this (and won) in 1972 when I started comprehensive school! Please keep us posted. keep it in your head that I and many, many other women are with you in spirit.

Great tips Buffy. Am marking my place and will pitch in if I can but just voicing my support for you Fish.
And I do think you have a good case here, you should win this thing and get the change you are after.
