My son had to call home from school one day in Sept. because he has worn shorts to school. They said he had to change or go home, because they could no longer where shorts to school. Now when I went up there there where little girls in short skirts and no stocking. What is the difference? I think that shorts are more suitable for the winter months but not if there are 10 or more inches of snow. I thought it sounded like discrimation, because I talked to the princible about it and she said well we are not going to stop our girls from wearing skirts. Would you of complained like I did?

if it is school policy to allow boys to wear shorts for part of the year , then your complaint was more than justified, they would never send a girl home to put on tights, why send a boy home to put on long trousers.
If policy is that boys must wear long trousers at all times (like my sons old school) then the school were right.

Yes it is a policy for them to only wear it half the year, but I think that girls should have the same rules. I also have a girl so I am not discrimating just against girls. The weather was also very warm that day too. They still demanded that he come put pants on. The superintendet even talked to the princible about it. Out of his own mouth said it "Sounded like discrimation". Thanks for the post.

I would have complained as well. I don't understand why it seems that what goes for one gender is never the same for the other even in the school setting. That is ridiculous. Unless it was a dress code widely advised from a long time ago, I would feel right in complaining.

Yeah there is no dress code. I think its just that they think little girls should be in dresses and skirts. I will tell you if it is cold enough that my sons can't wear shorts then my girl is not going to wear a dress or skirt. thanks for the post.
