To think it's odd that DD wasn't allowed to wear a tank top for non uniform and was made to put on her PE top?

[Radia]

DD is 10 and they have a bloody non uniform day so soon already (it was a charity thing). Not that I care, by DD faffs around all night deciding what to wear.

She wore a tank top and jeans. Oh no, that wasn't allowed? We weren't given a list of things that were allowed/weren't allowed. She was told she needed at least short sleeves so had to put on her PE polo.

Isn't this really odd?

What is a tank top?

Something like this

Oh I thought you were going to say it was cropped or something! Nope, they were being weird. Is the central heating broken? Is it a church school?

That's what I think they call a tank top in the US. To me a tank top is a knitted sleeveless jumper that would be very odd to wear with nothing underneath. That is what I'd call a vest top

Oh, I just always call it a tank top.

Yes, it's Roman Catholic actually!

I would say that top is definitely not appropriate for a 10 year old.

They're not allowed vest tops or scrappy tops on non-uniform days at our high school but that's for sun safety. Wouldn't have thought it was a problem this time of the year in the U.K.

Why's it not appropriate? She wears them all the time

Is that all she wore? No cardi or jacket?

I agree, too skimpy for school.

I don't think it's appropriate for school. You should have put your foot down.

Put my foot down? I didn't have an issue, I had no idea it would be an issue.

No, she had a jacket that she wore to school with it, but when she was there she took that off

God my dd and I live in those....

Like fuck is it inappropriate

Woohoo! Body shaming for ten year olds.

. I think I'd be querying the reason for this with school.

In what way is it inappropriate? Because she has bare arms and shoulders?

Don't know where you are but it was about 24 degrees in the SE so perfectly appropriate for a summer's day. They are being weird. Not much you can do about it though.

Gabs skimpy!?!? She's 10!! All they can see is shock horror arms and shoulders!!

Is her PE top logo'd?
I think it may have been Jeans for Genes today and I'm the past when our school did it, they had to wear uniform top with jeans on their legs.

DD is at a non-uniform primary and about the only rule they have is no sleeveless tops. Having said that, I doubt they'd actually say anything.

Ah, that was it! But no, they can wear what they want as long as a £1 is brought in

That's a vest top , a tank top is thicker and has an inch more shoulder.. Not too much difference really x

I have a 10 yo. She has worn stuff like that for none uniform and it would't have occurred to me to put my foot down either. Also a RC school.

My 3 year old lived in these all summer

I guess they felt it was too little clothing, but they should really write down what their rules are if that's the case. My DCs school has a rule of 'no beach wear' which sort of covers this space.

I dunno. I am thinking "How is that skimpy or inappropriate?" but turning it round in my head if a boy wore it I would think too scruffy for school.
