School brings in trousers only rule for all pupils - schoolgirls said to be in tears ...

The shorts are sewn in FFS. Read the post you are replying to.

Again, not all girls. It is shaming all girls.

have the girls buy skorts. Solves the problem.

Since when does wearing trousers make you 'look like a boy' how ridiculous 😂
When i was at secondary school NO girls wore skirts because the fashion then in the late 90's was to wear black flared trousers. Didnt realise we all looked like boys!!
Its just a uniform. In the workplace there are plenty of employers who mandate trousers as part of a uniform usually for safety or hygiene reasons, im pretty sure female surgeons wear trousers.
My daughter prefers to wear a skirt but if her school changed the uniform, she would simply wear the trousers. It really is not that difficult to buy trousers for different shapes and sizes, boys are all different shapes and sizes and somehow miraculously manage to buy trousers.

Neither am I. The barrier is the school accepting Halara pinafores as a uniform as opposed to the itchy heavy polyester twill version.

I said "that's great, as long as...", which tells you that I don't object to it as a uniform option.

And if a girl decides not to follow the rule and wear shorts underneath?

Again...any reprimand or request to follow the rule will result in the teacher being accused of perving.

The difference now is mainly the lack of respect for teachers and education in general.

I’m bewildered by the Victorian notion that girls simply can’t wear trousers lest they faint/their bottoms won’t fit/they won’t look flattering enough/it’ll turn them into men. Have I time-travelled? Is it no longer the year of our Lord 2026?
Women of all shapes and sizes have been wearing trousers as part of work uniforms or daily wear for generations, and there are many trouser options that are designed to fit women perfectly comfortably.

Absolutely not! The last thing I need when walking upstairs is a rogue bollock hanging out from under a rolled up kilt centimetres from my eyes alongside all the gussets and thighs.

Unless you know of a type of trouser that comes attached to its own penis, I’m confident in saying that trousers are, in fact, not male.

My posts keep getting hidden, god knows what Im saying!!

Oh now you're talking, look at this. ...

How on earth did schools manage in the past? Girls have been rolling up skirts since the 1960s. It is almost a right of passage tbh. Make girls wear shorts under their skirts if it such an issue.

a lot of my daughter’s school play sports and their sports skirts are often tiny. But they have shorts sewn in so all modesty preserved.

I'm surprised by people being angered by this. I remember when (in the early 2000s) girls and their families were fighting to wear trousers, because forcing the girls to wear knee-length skirts all year round was considered sexist and impractical. My school eventually let girls wear trousers in the autumn and winter terms, and I loved that, as I hated being forced into skirts.

Can you really not see that campaigning for the right to choose trousers isnt the same as being forced to wear trousers?

Yes....and?

Have you ever shopped online before?

Lovely colour

Lovely fabric

You think schools have got time to deal with, she did, and she didnt lists. And then the inevitable - my daughter didnt do that, wheres the proof, blah blah blah

The job is hard enough!

As always, its the few that spoil it for the majority.

But practically, schools cannot ban individuals from wearing skirts. And as you can see from the nonsense spouted on here, it would be considered "victim blaming" if they did. The whole reason schools can't stop the girls rolling skirts up past their bum cheeks is because all too often the parents come marching in accusing the teacher of perving on their teenage daughter.

So if teacher's are not allowed to correct the issue, the school finds a way to prevent the issue all together.

I enjoyed the banter here. It makes a nice change from some of the more serious and worrying threads about at the moment.

I'm now off to iron my skirt for tomorrow. I have the knickers ready to match.

Don't blame the school, blame the girls who refuse to follow rules and keep rolling their skirts up until they're barely more than belts.

Some of the girls I see walking along are borderline obscene, with their arse cheeks showing. It's all very well to say the problem is the boys, but they're teenagers FFS, with hormones raging and under developed brains. They should be allowed to concentrate on their studies without the distraction of girls flashing their arses. It's a learning environment, not a catwalk.

Boys don’t look like boys because they wear trousers.

A boy wearing a skirt looks like a boy wearing a skirt.

As soon as uniform shops make them, they'll be in polyester heavy twill. Everything uniform shops make is polyester or poly-blend.

I personally would outlaw logos on school uniforms except for the tie and patches that can be sewn onto blazers and polo shirts. Logos on uniforms and mandatory specific brands (e.g. skirt must be the Trutex a-line in X length) exist purely to keep poor kids out of the school.

But not every girl was doing that. Why not make the girls who were mis wearing skirts wear trousers and let the others wear skirts? A blanket rule doesn’t take into account the wearer and so by definition the school considers wearing skirts immodest

lots of girls stick to the uniform though. Not every girls rolls it up super short. I certainly didn’t - always jutted out at a wonky angle when I tried so gave up . Why ban it for every girl?

The ridiculous problems are from girls bored doing their homework.
