A British high school announced they were banning skirts as part of their uniform forcing girls to wear trousers. How times have changed! When I was growing up hardly any school allowed trousers. Are some teenage girls incorrigible?
I went to a school for girls but my friends and I all hiked our skirts up as we grew more aware of our bodies. We used to have length checks at assembly and our teachers would pre-warn us to undo our zips and pull the skirt lower so we wouldn’t get into trouble. We didn’t do it for the boys, there weren’t any. I think it was quite innocent but I do realise that we live in a more sexualised society now and some girls don’t know where to stop.
Uniform rules are there to be broken or tested to the max so I wonder how creative girls will become. My high school solved the problem by introducing a kilt into the uniform as they can’t be pulled higher, boring!
