Title: Skirts not shorts
Post by: andyg0404 on June 11, 2018, 04:15:41 PM

Hi,

Came across this in Flickr and had to check to see if it was legitimate. First I found the Mirror article but then I found the article below it which debunks it.

School allows boys to wear skirts but NOT shorts during hot weather in move towards 'gender-neutral' uniform policy

I have been watching this, and As far as I know, no school in the UK or elsewhere requires boys to wear skirts. It's rather that approved Summer wear is either long pants or skirts, no shorts; and in the interest of gender neutrality, if a boy wishes to wear a skirt he may [but is not required to] do so.
