13 yr old DD rolling up school skirt

[vdbfamily]

Advice please.
My 13 year old DD is 6' tall . Her school uniform is a navy pleated skirt with a flat panel first from waistband and then pleats from below hip level. She hates the panel so rolls the skirt over at the top. This puts it as several inches above the knee. I ask her daily to unroll it, school ask her most days to sort it out. School rang DH this week to say they would escalate the issue if she kept disobeying. I have removed her phone and said she will not get it back until she conforms. She sys everyone else does it and you get teased and bullied if you don't. I suspect hers is more obvious as she is so tall so far too much thigh showing. Apart from this she is being fairly well behaved. When I got home today from work she had cooked us all tea,walked the dog and got the washing in. I gave her a big hug and said thanks and then noticed the wretched skirt hoiked up. It is making such a bad atmosphere and I really feel at a loss as to how to explain to her that she just has to follow school rules. Any ideas?

Isn't rolled up skirts par for the course, with school uniforms?
DD does it sometimes.
I probably did at school too. I know I did infact.

I don't mention it. If school were bothered they'd tell her. TBH even though DD has a pretty strict uniform, the school don't need to spend loads of time enforcing it. Yes, they'd say something about something really out of order, but not about a slightly raised skirt length.

Uniform doesn't have to mean hassle at all, ime. Depends on how the school handles it.

The school has a dumb rule about socks

Now that i dont support the school with

But she hasnt been punished yet and if she is then its tough on her

Sadly in schools everyone does do it and you get the piss taken out of you if you don't

my advice, as a schoolgirl who doesn't roll her skirt/lash out in accordance to uniform, LET HER ROLL IT.
when you wrote this she was 13, and it makes me ill to think that you thought it was a good Idea to post that, telling her bra size and making it seem like it was her fault for other people to look at her in a sexual way. several inches above the knee, god forbid!! jesus Christ I'm glad you aren't my mother. you said she cooked dinner, walked the dog and did the dishes and you still let the fact that a bit of fabric was rolled up a bit get in the way of a nice moment? sort it out woman

Definitely ignore it.

School issues are to be managed by school imo. There's enough we need to deal with at home as parents.

Some teens just need to break the rules or bend them literally as far as far as they can!

I think school is very different to work. My dd treats any work she does completely differently to school. I think she respects the fact she gets paid to work!!

You have to feel for them that school is compulsory and in their view there is not necessarily much in it for them.

I quite respect the fact that my dd doesn't blindly follow rules and has learned exactly how short her skirt can be / how much make up she can wear without consequence !
