why do girls get a summer uniform but boys don't? isn't this sexist?

[beautifuldays]

why do girls get to wear nice loose summer dresses in the hot weather but boys still have to wear shirts buttonned up to the neck, ties and 'shorts' that are made of thick material and not at all cool. why are schools allowed to get away with it?

they aren't allowed to get away with refusing to allow girls to wear trousers anymore, so why do they get away with allowing girls to wear a summer uniform that keeps them cool while the boys have to suffer? surely this is sex discrimination?

oh and i am not sending them to that school through choice. it is the school at the end of the road, and we didn't get offered a place anywhere else.

they have a reputation for being a bit posh. hence the shirts and ties for 5year olds......
