What is the MN opinion of COMPULSORY short skirts for senior school uniform????

[RTKangaMummy]

My friend has a daughter about to start senior school in sept and the school uniform is short skirts and flesh coloured tights

The thing is that she is going to be teased dreadfully

She is very well built with chunky legs

{she swims and cycles in biatholons and plays football}

But although she is fit she is also in the conventunal sense fat

Do you think it is fair for schools to have uniforms with short skirts that are compulsory ie that there are not two lengths?

I am totally in agreement that school uniforms are a deffo brill idea and so does her mum

Most of the girls with skinny legs roll the skirts over to make them barely cover their underwear

They are allowed to wear trousers between NOV and FEB

What do you all think?

All the schools round here wear the same style and length skirts

.

I think it's well dodgy. If a girl has long legs (or chunky ones) it would make her feel very self-conscious.

DD's school also has kilts, midway between bottom and knees. The only difference is that they wear ankle socks rather than flesh-coloured tights, which obviously saves a lot of money.

As long as they're compulsory, so every girl is wearing them, I don't think any one child is going to feel too uncomfortable about it as there will be others looking the same or worse.
