And the parents should be ashamed, in fact one such mother was just on GMTV , her dress was nearly around her thighs.
Just wear your uniform because when you eventually enter the work force, there's rules to be adhered to that you'll have to follow!

I think girls wearing trousers as part of their school uniform is a sensible idea. It's nearly impossible to enforce a skirt length - think of the outrage if girls were made to kneel down to check if the skirt touched the floor as was the practice. It would have been much more sensible if this schools head had kept gender out of the equation.

The trousers rule was brought in I think because the school was unable or unwilling to enforce a rule dictating skirt length. Seems to be a lack of communication, respect & common sense on both sides.
PS I don't think the skirt shown in the link picture would be typical of what the girls (and/or boys!) were wearing.

So did her skirt end just under her bum or just above her knees, or maybe not quite around her thighs? ;)
It’s all a bit daft. I can’t imagine any parents of my friends or mine getting involved in school uniform like this when we were young. You wore what you had to wear and that was it. Of course we rolled up the waistbands to make our skirts a bit shorter, but some of the girls I’ve seen out on school trips are barely covering their bums. That’s not ok.

My children’s school has a uniform policy. logo blazer, grey jumper, white shirt and black trousers. No skirts for for anyone.
It’s not an issue. It is a uniform. In fact my Aspie daughter wouldn’t wear a skirt if you put a gun to her head and we had all manner of meltdown when she was a bridesmaid a few years back.
In all honesty kids can wear what they he’ll they like, or their parents permit, when not at school.
School Uniforms get them used to work rules. I have a uniform for work and no one is allowed a skirt. Well except some of the women in admin and contractors I think.

This is what happens when schools think it ok to demand a specific uniform.
A guide to acceptable standards is all that should be imposed. And not one so tightly tied down that it amounts to a uniform by default.
(In work one assumes one doesn't apply for a job that requires something one doesn't accept.)

The problem seems to be the imposition of such standards!

The issue there is a dispute on what is considered reasonable. Banning skirts is near enough to "so tightly tied down that it amounts to a uniform by default" that it causes the same problems.
Demanding uniforms back was just daft. Given a decent choice they could wear the old uniform as part of personal choice anyway without imposing it on others.
