Girls only allowed to do handstands and cartwheels on the field IF they wear shorts under their dress

[CrackerOfNuts]

Is it me, or is that just barmy.

Both dd's have come home moaning as they like to try and do cartwheels and handstands on the field at lunch time. The dinnerladies have now said that unless they take in shorts to wear under their dresses, then they aren't allowed to do it because the boys will see their knickers.

From what Dd1 said, the majority of the boys are not even on the field, they are in the playground playing footie, so can't even see the girls letalone their knickers.

Chrikey mine go to school in sutton I dread to think what DD will be like then, she is proud of her pants any one can look!!!

I think that shorts under uniform could be pretty un comfortable and having boys myself I dont think they would care a jot at looking at girls nickers they are to busy making mud and putting mown grass down each others backs DS1 is 10 !!!

It isn't the boys that need to 'get a grip' -- they AREN'T INTERESTED.

That is ridiculous!

LOL at Cod's blog, hope it highlights the stupidity of the situation.

It was your birthday? A belated Happy Birthday from me, you should have said i would have baked you a cake.

You can get thongs for children though - just trying to imagine a rationale for why the Head feels this strongly on an issue that most of us feel is overreacting.

'hehe lauren wearing red stripey pants today' she seems to like to match them, up with school colours. even her teacher commented on how often she shows her knickers off dd2 does like to roll about on the floor and really doesnt mind who sees them. i did tell her off for lifting her dress up at the lollipop lady though.

The head is a bit old fashioned I think. Just trying to think of some other silly rules she has made up, but mind has gone blank.

I realise that some girls might be wearing innapropriate knickers, but that isn't my problem, or my dd's so I don't think they should have to cover up because of it.

The swimming thing raises a good point, as a costume generally covers the same amount of flesh on the bottom half as knickers does, but they all go swimming together. Wonder if the head will request that girls wear shorts over their costumes too.

thongs for children? dear lord!

Much more sensible IMO to get the boys to wear blindfolds at playtime as it appears to be their conduct that the head has problems with. Of course that would make playing football hazardous so that would have to be banned as well.

lol gooseyloosey

misdee, after about 2 billion conversations on why not everyone is as fascinated by Dora/stripy (bloody Charlie and Lola knicks) pants as she is, we have now got dd sort of under control at school re random pants flashing.
Apparently they all go into the toilets to compare knicker design rather than do it in the playground
Home is another matter entirely
Cracker, do write to the Head. But don't suggest that she ought to turn her attention to "immodest" swimming attire whatever you do! Where will it end...

I don't think this is any different than arguments about uniform. Uniform is chosen so they can look roughly they same. If there really is some idiot parents out there sending their primary school children in to school in thongs then yes, the head should try to standardise if they are a uniform wearing school.

I don't read this as having anything to do with boys at all but just trying to standardise.

Fine if you're against standardisation and you don't send your children to a uniform wearing school.

lol notmarinawheeler, i'm asure dd2 goes itno the loo and compares knicker patterns with her friends as well.

i have never met another child so knicker obsessed. mind you dd3 is very proud of her big girl knickers and likes to flash them as well. she spent all of saturday atthe river in just her knickers, and got very irate with one of dd1 friends who said she was too young to wear knickers and she should be wearinf nappies. she went and yelled at him that she was a big girl and didnt wear nappies at all

i know a politically incorrect joke about this ......

It is nothing to do with them all wearing the same Laurie. It is so that the boys don't see their knickers.

I mean fgs I used to walk around my front lawn on my hands wearing a skirt at the same age as dd1, so I was flashing to the whole street.

It is OTT.

If either of my dd's were bothered about a boy seeing their knickers then they'd not be doing the handstands in the first place would they.

You can get thongs for children What the flying fuck is all that about?

dds teacher mentioned that her knickers were quite loose
( dd micro skinny) so we need to find boxer shorts for dd. Where anyone?

Woolies had some short type knickers in, but not sure what age they started from.

think tesco do them piffle, but not sure they do them for your dd's size (she is very wee isnt she?).

mind you asda ones in age 2-3 are a bit tight on dd3 who is just in age 2-3 clothes.

Next also have some short type pants, but they start at 5/6.

dd is 5.5 wears age 2-3 knickers and they're baggy round the leg area.
hmm think unless boxers go to her knees I best keep her in shorts not dresses or skirts, which is sad as she is a feminine girl who wants to wear dresses like her mates, who for the record cartwheel with gay abandon and pick dried grass from their nethers in full view of the footballing boys... Who never notice. Girls are creatures which play over there.
end of

piff, French catalogues do girl boxer short type knickers and always come up slim-fitting.
Dd is usually in French undies for the same reason. Bad enough that most of her trousers and skirts fall down all the time...
The thing about uniform is that it's nice for kids who have views on this matter to exercise their individuality somehow in what they wear day to day.
Even quite strict uniform codes do not specify underpant colours for either sex. So mine have quite loud and jolly pants by preference.
