to be annoyed at the school not allowing girls to waer shorts

[Ivykaty44]

I mean smart black taylored tyrp short with tights under, the boys can wear shorts.

This is a local junior state school.

dd has been wearing them since September as they are practicle and I thought as biys could wear shorts girls would be allowed aswell.

The teachers asked her where she had got them from, my dd said they were form asa and the teacher replied - apparently - that says it all.

So am I BUR to be a little miffed?

Amber, at least skirts can look decent. I hate school trousers on girls and I don't understand how anyone can put their DD in them. How are girls ever going to learn to be modest if they never wear a skirt. We will end up with a nation of ladies who look uncomfortable in female attire if we are not careful. Except for the privately educated elite who will of course wear their skirts modestly with pride .

Dolly, but trousers are female attire now. The very posh girls school round here wears trousers btw lol

rides onto the thread side saddle, with pink ribbons blowing in the wind, husbands pipe and slippers warming under bum!

You are having a laugh, modesty and skirts, i do declare!

Yes amber, but I bet they wear 'very posh' trousers.

I remember a thread like this before claw and some very funny poster (was it you?) put up a link to an old black and white picture of a lady 'riding' a bicycle side saddle .

Ha ha! no it wasnt me.

'Modesty' was never my middle name, i can remember tucking my skirt into my knickers so i could climb as a kid. Quick, pass me the mind bleach

the teacher is worried by some of the mini-hooker type shorts she's seen. World of difference between the two items, but hard to stipulate in the rules exactly what's decent and whats not.

So this couldn happen with a skirt - and does, some skirts are very shorts, due the dc growing upwards and not outwards,

so what would the difference be if you had really short shorts or really short skirts?

As for why would anyone put there dd in trousers for school - I can answer that on two counts, my d thought if she didn't have her skirt wraped around her knickers so everyone could amost call it a large belt. Oh she looked delightful as she walked out the front door - but by the time she was at school the skirt would shrinkg -all on its own- it would be rolled at the waist band.

So I put her in trousers, which stop anyone leerking and she grew out of it and now wears skirts that are skirts.

I will do the same with dd2 - she will be given trousers to wear, they are warm for the mile walk and sensible as she can't get the skrinking skirt disease and it makes for one less battle

The ohter count is this no it doesn't happen to many but tipping hot water does happen

Have they told her that she can't wear them Katy or just made that bitchy comment ?
Btw what is ASA ?

If the school accepts that girls can wear trousers (and show me a school that doesn't), and that girls can wear trousers cut in a girl's style (and show me a school that doesn't), then why on earth should girls not wear shorts cut in a girl's style?

If it's an issue of modesty, then, fair enough, immodest clothing is not a good idea. Similarly with practicality of clothing. Neither of those apply to the OP's dd's shorts.
