Recently in my school we got a new headmaster, the first male headteacher we have ever had. Lots of the girls at my school wore straight skirt which was part of the school uniform and a bit tighter than the pleated skirt also available at the school. For many years we have been allowed these skirts. The first male headteacher banded then saying they were ‘inappropriate’ and distracting and ‘uncomfortable’ for male staff. According to him now the uniform is ‘a lot smarter’ as the uniform is less revealing and less provocative. Why should he deside what we wear when the uniform has been like this for years, why should my 40 year old teachers be distracted by 15 year old girls!? If they are distracted maybe the OUT head teacher should really think about the real problem.
