winter....

When I was about 10 years old I was sent home from school in a raging
blizzard because my mum had insisted I wear trousers rather than a skirt and
ankle socks. I thought things had improved since those days. Evidently not.
(My mum didn't let me go back until the weather improved, and you can
imagine how furious she was that they made me walk home alone in a howling
blizzard!)

When I was a secondary school we all wore mini-skirts no matter how cold
it was. Of course we wore thick tights with them, but all the same...

Interesting, it's gone the other way now. Mini-skirts not allowed

The argument rages on about school uniforms (taking place in other
forums)

But the whole stuff about having the top button fastened, is really
beyond belief

There ought to be mass debates in all the schools about uniforms, and
then a vote takes place, about whether to keep them or not. Children of
ALL ages to be allowed to vote

I hope you mean just the *girls* had to...

A few years ago, a school here sent a pupil home for wearing a white cotton
shirt instead of a white polyester shirt.

I'm astonished the teacher could tell the difference!

If it was weather like this, he was probably the only child in the school
not drenched in sweat.

There is something badly wrong with the education system if little
hitlers are imposing such stupid, petty regulations. A girl is cut
across the face by another with a razor blade, children are allegedly
taking knives to school and someone gets a detention for having their
top button undone in temperatures of 29/30C?

It really does beggar belief.

It's like they've given up tackling al the really important stuff and
are content with satisfying themselves with some illusion of
authority with these petty rules.
