Uniform Policy

[GutsySloth]

My child attends a secondary school, and they recently had nail surgery, when she had it they said said she had to wear trainers for at least 6-12 weeks - 6 probably being the estimated time.
Their toe is still heavily bangaged after 3 weeks, so they are currently wearing converse to their school
The school have a problem with these that they are not all black - they are black concerse, with a white sole, and laces. i sent them erlier this week photos of all the trainers and converse they have.
I spoke to the the people who did her nail surgery and they said they would need to wear sandals or trainers.
The school have spoke to me and said they want me to buy a pair of full black trainers over the weekend to comply with uniform policy - where do i stand saying no to this - i dont have the money to buy a pair of trainers for them to wear for 15 school days, and that they wont wear again.

Any ideas or support would be great

thanks

What about swapping in some black laces for a couple of weeks @GutsySloth ? Arguing over the colour of the soles is a bit petty by the school but that seems a reasonable compromise...

Well now you have lost all sympathy from me. The school have provided a reasonable adjustment but you and your daughter are just being too snobby to accept it. Three weeks of a cheap pair of supermarket trainers is perfect solution. I really don't think there would be any bullying at all.

I agree with this. It just sounds like she wants to wear her Converse.
