I know I can do better that 'For fuck's sake, you petty-minded bunch of cunts', of course...

DS got a day in inclusion (ie isolation) because of his shoes. They are, admittedly, not quite regulation shoes, though they are plain black - but he was wearing them because his normal school shoes were discovered to have a fucking great hole in on Sunday evening. He wore the not-quite-right shoes yesterday and there was no problem - I got home from work too late to take him shoe-shopping as my shift overran - but I got a phone call at work this morning saying they were 'unacceptable' and he would either be sent home or have to spend the day in inclusion. I was halfway up the M4 at the time. I explained the reason and that we were going to buy a new pair tomorrow (because I wouldn't be home till 7pm), but they said if he didn't have proper shoes in the morning it would be the same thing again.
Mercifully our nearest Sainsburys is open till 10pm and is one of those big enough to have a clothing and footwear department, so we have actually got new shoes, but what the fuck is the point of taking a well-behaved kid out of class for the day when he's only wearing not-quite-right shoes for a perfectly good reason.

That article reiterates what I have said on other threads when talking about UC/housing etc

The government have advisors. They have a thinking that things are happening in a certain way. They research and dismiss anything that doesn’t back up their thinking then present it to the government with the lines of

“You are all doing exceedingly well. Carry on.”

Natasha Devon appears to have not got the memo so she had to go.

Scary stuff Helena .

There is a bit of support for a campaign on my other thread but I don’t have any hope of things changing .

But we can. It'll hurt but if we follow sensible procedures and do things like keep children off school if uniform regulations arw at odds with PE for instance. I'M experience disagreement but I cannot follow rules when they are not evidence based and are NOT for the benefit for those they effect the most.
I still cannot believe that some skill STILL have bizarre and sexist dress code. I fought against that shit in the 1990s ffs!

Stupid autocorrect I meant PPE and also Health and Safety.
