I've been slagging off short shirts worn by school girls for ages. Anyone would think some of them are going round town on a friday night rather than going to school. If I was a head, skirts would have to be long enough to cover the knee or they'd be sent home to get changed.

My mum tells me stories of her school - they would get the girl to kneel and would measure the skirt’s hem to the floor. Any distance longer than an inch would be punished.

That's how I did it. Except that the skirt had to touch what they were kneeling on. _________________Jim

That was the same at a friend's school so a bit more current, except that any pupil with a skirt not reaching the ground would be sent home to change. Anyway, blame the parents, then the school, and then Tesco.

I agree.
We never had a problem with short skirts at my school, but then if we did, there would have been serious questions asked (8-s)
There were some girls from the girls' school who got in trouble when taking lessons during 6th form at our school for being innappropriately dressed, however.

My sister's school had the: kneel down in the gym, if your skirt didn't touch the floor , you're sent home rule.
Not a bad one in my opinion.
As said, it's the parents who buy these, can't blame the shop, they are responding to the demand. Same with the kiddieporn outfits sold in some places.

i have two daughters and believe me as a father
you may voice your views and try (and i mean try) to impose your wishes
but when they walk out of the door and around the corner you have no chance of anything holding
its just something (as a father) you have to live with and hope you have done the best you can, the rest is up to them …

A lot of the girls in my school used to roll the skirts up. I certainly wasn't complaining.  _________________

I wasn't aware that Tesco was also forcing parents to buy the skirts? As others have said, parents have no control over what their children do at school, chances are they'll roll up skirts etc (they certainly unbuttoned the top 3/4 buttons on their shirts in my school, and like Nick I wasn't complaining ).

I obviously went to the wrong (right?) school... The uniform was knee length skirts and none of the girls rolled them up, if they did, they'd be called tramps by the other girls...

We had the same situation at my school, boundaries were pushed wherever possible. Girls rolled skirts and undid buttons. Boys were perpetually trying to get away with trainers instead of shoes. The problem here is the uniform. There will always be people who want to stand out, or look different, or follow someone else's lead in a trend. As long as that's the case, uniforms will be "altered" by individuals. Tesco is just responding to the market.
