Middle school girls lifting skirts

The bizarre measuring technique was outlined by the Nottingham secondary school in a letter sent to parents in a crackdown on uniform "compliance". Parents have blasted a school as "draconian" for measuring the length of girls' skirts by ordering them to kneel on chairs to see how far their hems ride up their thighs. The bizarre measuring technique was outlined by the secondary school in a letter sent to parents in a crackdown on uniform "compliance". If the hemline of the skirt is more than 5cm 1.

The appropriate length for a school skirt has, for generations, been a daily battleground between pupils, teachers and parents. It is practice that has been taken up in recent years by an estimated 60 secondaries in England and Wales, or 1. After a while, it stops being a uniform issue and starts becoming a safeguarding issue. So Dr Blencowe is sounding an alarm. Her warning is echoed by another head , Sarah Pashley, of Bridlington School in East Yorkshire, who is also instituting a ban. That unease reflects the attitude of many teenage girls in their dealings with older male authority figures. I leave that entirely to female members of staff.

Barbara Metcalfe, 56, used to roll up her skirt at school and her two teenage daughters are guilty of the same thing. A school has sparked furious debate after it banned pupils from wearing skirts because they were too 'distracting' for male teachers and pupils. Trentham High School, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, has ordered that all students now wear 'business-like' trousers to stamp out girls' clothing that 'barely covers their bottoms'. Headmistress Dr Rowena Blencowe said she had been forced to introduce the new rules because staff were spending more time telling pupils to roll down their skirts than teaching. According to her, both male teachers and pupils had complained that the length of hemlines were 'a complete distraction' when the girls had to walk up stairs or sit down.

It's the end of the school year, and students would normally be getting ready to celebrate, but teenagers at one San Diego high school are instead protesting outside of their school. Female students at Cathedral Catholic High School in Carmel Valley, California, recently received word that the school's dress code would be changing this fall, and they're not amused by the new clothing restrictions on their uniforms. Starting with the school year, female students will no longer be allowed to wear skirts , according to an email from school officials obtained by local NBC affiliate KNSD. Instead, girls will be required to wear pants, capri pants or Bermuda shorts. The school has made many attempts to rectify this challenge.
