Reading Cloud. They use it at DCs’ primary school to log the books they’ve read. The children can create an avatar of themselves. I’ve linked to pictures of the clothing choices for girls and boys. So tiny. So insidious.

Girls don't get sleeves but boys can have suits?

I like the Candy Crush avatars. DD can be a female pirate or a fish.

Yes boys can do sport or be practical or go to work. Girls just have to be pretty and have plenty of flesh on show. Whilst reading.

That is shitty. Can you tweet it to let clothes be clothes or the toys one? And the makers of the shitty programme?

Oh that’s a good idea. I came off Twitter because of TRA trolling but I will get a friend to do it.

That's horrible. I'd complain.

Flipping heck that girl one looks half naked. Given the snow outside I can only think Brrrrr! But yes, that's just ridiculous and totally unnecessary. Why couldn't they just have the same range for everyone?

That's awful!

What have the school said, surely the headteacher can't think this is good?

Backingvocals · 28/02/2018 10:28

Just to be clear, it's not the school's site. It's one they have suggested children use.

I have found an email address for the developers - will let you know what they say, if anything.
