Rossett Acre school in Harrogate have given parents the option to allow their 4/5 year old girls to wear jogging bottoms rather than skirts/pinafore dresses to school due to the amount of physical activities the kids engage in.
Ummm, we weren't all dragged around in a leather clad stretch limo in our youth. Our car had cloth seats and windows that we even had to open ourselves.
Agree about children conforming to rules, but some school uniform rules are unnecessary and completely stupid. Shirts and ties for instance and bloomin' horrible school uniform trousers. Most sensible schools have made polo shirts their uniform and that is sensible. Senior girls in crotch length skirts is not on in my opinion, which is why I suggest sensible slacks for both sexes.
Seems perfectly acceptable and eminently sensible to me for toddlers, boys and girls, to be wear jogging bottoms. Interesting how the spin changes the story though :)
