miss sexy trousers - school are not allowing them but its the first i have heard about it and its only september!!

[slartybartfast]

dd normally has trousers from new look but they tend to go bobbly.
so she said her friends were all wearing miss Sexy trousers. they were quite cheap.
the school allows bootleg but not lycra or denim, usual story i imagine.
i read in the newspaper at the beginning of the month about a school that had banned miss Sexy trousers and now DD and others are being hauled out of the classroom and told to buy new trousers.

i have said not until october half term.
she has only had them since June or so
AIBU

Hully, plenty of other countries do not have the problems with teens that the UK does.

dd thought they wanted trousers from the school shop and hated them but i read and read their paperwork and although trousers are available from there, they dont have to buy them from there. just the jumpers, shirts, pe shirts etc.,

whackamole - same question as to squeaky, how do all the other countries manage then? Like the whole of the USA?

School uniform is school uniform, these do not look like uniform to me!

Those trousers are too sexy for school.

There is a huge increase of schools in the USA now insisting on a uniform being worn.

The school doesn't understand that food outside of carrot sticks and an apple can be a valid and healthy choice.

Snack time is fruit and veg only. Which is sort of alright in theory. But dd is 4yo and the day is really bloody difficult for her. Straight to full time, 3 sessions of PE a week, a packed schedule and she's not allowed something with some lovely slow release energy in it to get her through. She comes home starving and ratty. It's making me cross. Packed lunch must contain no cakes of any description. In fact if it isn't a piece of lettuce, it's not allowed in. School dinner today is fishfingers and cupcake for pudding ffs.

That's because they don't force their teenagers into slacks and poly-cotton shirts. Probably.

I'm not opposed to uniform btw.

It meant as a child that we were all on a level playing field. Or not really because people wore what they liked and there were still Right Shoes and Wrong Shoes but it did avoid the problem of me wearing my brother's hand me downs to school.

But the whole thing is shoddily done afaics.

show, I completely disagree with lunchbox policing and silly petty rulings for what a child should be allowed to eat at school, but would it not be easier to allow your daughter to just have the school lunches?

Research shows no correlation between uniform and behaviour.

Oh Showy. And so it begins.

These are no more suitable as school uniform than fly in the air! And this is coming from the mother of a 14 year old who wears an arse skimming skirt, albeit with opaque tights and Doc Marten boots!
Yes I'd rather she wore a longer skirt, but given that every other girl appears to be wearing the same, then none of them actually stand out in it.
I'm massively in favour of school uniform, no issues in the morning of what to wear that day!

I used to wear something similar, with 4 inch platform boots. Shirt untucked and my tie tied the wrong way so only the skinny bit showed... God I loved the late 90's...

It's part of being at school to push the uniform barriers to the limit. I can't reach the level of hypocrisy required to insist on regulation uniform when a quick scan of my old school photos would quickly demonstrate my ability to push things to the limit.

Not suitable for school.

Too tight on the bum. Too low on the hips. Ridiculous name.

What is wrong with buying appropriate school uniform for kids?

Forgot to mention the bright blue Kappa jacket to finish off the very classy ensemble..

I couldn't care less what my dc wear. Up to them if they want to be told off or not. Not a battle I need to have.

Having seen what the teenage girls round here wear when they are out of school, (my stepdaughters included), their choice of fashion is most definately not something that would be suitable for a classroom, and would be more fitting in a london club.

As for the boys, it would either be fights over sports clothes or football tops, or the wonderful sight of grotty underpants with trousers hanging below the arse that look like they need a good oiking up.

School lunches are ££. It would cost me £42 a month for hot lunches. Considering we spend £100 pcm on food total and I can get packed lunches out of this, I can't find the extra money for hot lunches. That's what they want though. Brought home on day 1 was a certificate to allow dd to try a week of free school dinners because they like to encourage all children to have school dinners. And boy do they make it difficult to provide packed lunches.

They don't look a bit like school trousers to me

More like something you'd wear clubbing.

Miss Sexy? Really? In this day and age we have a brand for teenage girls called Miss Sexy? We need to set Let Girls Be Girls on them.

we live in germany, no uniforms here. I've never had any problems wrt my ds clothes on a morning before school unless they're trying to sneak out in a dirty t-shirt or pj top cos they're too skanky and lazy to change. I've not seen any of the girls in mini shirts or bare midriffs either. Jeans are the most common choice for both genders and bermuda lenght shorts in the summer.

I did used to like wearing my uniform btw. but i read time and time again about the uniform battles and wonder really what is the point?

I think the fear of all the promlems it would unleash doing away with them is unfounded as long as basic decency standards were adhered to. Problem is no one seems to have the balls to say no to kids. The trousers in OP are imo totally inappropriate, even the double button down the front (stare at my fanny pls), the fact they're skin tight (on most). but parents and schools go along with it. teeny skirts, tight trousers.
