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.

tbh the boys in dd1 class arent interested in the girls knickers at all. they are too busy chasing each other and shoving things down each others t-shirts from what i've seen.

piff, the asda kncikers are tight round the leg cuffs. they come up very small.

I think we are all agreed it is the Head who is bothered by the breeks not the boys. Go get her Cracker

Just remembered that when I started primary school, we did have uniform knickers - big thick navy blue 'merids' as they were called. Horrid!

She sounds like the batty head of the school next to dh's office. School looks like a bloody fortress, all hidden behind walls and fences, the only thing you can see are enormous Stranger Danger placards as you approach. Apparently, the head tried to stop the council from putting up flats in the neighbourhood as some of them might be able to overlook the playground and (shock! horror!) see the children.

Needless to say, parents go to great lengths not to have to send their children to this school. Hardly a healthy environment.

OMG! I would be livid! How bloody ridiculous. Self image and paranoia starts young enough as it is without making little girls feel self conscious like this .

We used to do p.e in our knickers and vests, it certainly caused no harm to me.

well why doenst he STOP?!!''

Interesting cod after your comments on my threads. (sorry for hijack) If you feel like replying do it on my email thread.

DD does PE in her vest and knickers all the time, your head sounds like a weirdo.

I think this is very damaging. It's important to see and learn about each others bodies when you are young and it is innocent. If this is held back then everyone who reaches puberty will become insanely curious and in a less innocent way.

Even if it is playboy logo thongs that are causing this, could not a note in the Newsletter say 'could parents please be sure to send children in underwear which is suitable for all activities including PE and playtime cartwheels and appropriate to thier childhood status - i.e no pole-dancing outfits' rather thandecree that all wear shorts?

'Our' head has asked that parents do NOT send children in spaghetti straps / shoulderless tops in the heat - she hasn't decreed that because of the foolish behaviour of a few parents that all children should wear anoraks all summer!

french superamrktes do good 'boxer' shrots for girls

they are strectchy and tiny for skinny girls - even if they do say things like 'crazy panda!!' on them

I never have any trouble finding suitable knickers for either dd, age 10&8.

Actually mine wear Primark knickers, so I suppose dd1 will soon choose not to show them off anyway, as they won't be cool enough LOL.

Ok Cod hang on. Do you not have my email addy anymore ?
