Stop Rainford High controlling girls skirts


Stop Rainford High controlling girls skirts
The Issue
Rainford girls with skirts completely unrolled and in the right size are getting punished for their skirt being above thier knee . Parents during a cost of living crisis are being forced to buy new skirts or risk the children being suspended from school, in a school that constantly preaches the importance of students attending school and lessons they find suspension a suitable consequence which is completely contradictory to the schools aim, school is supposed to prepare us for the workplace however when we see teachers in the school walking around their workplace with skirts not following these same rules it seems very junjust. Also given the fact the pupils are being treated almost as animal being almost headed into a penned in section in the auditorium to be inspected seems very demeaning and almost inhumane to the female students being inspected by the male staff. I understand the fact that some skirts are too short and incredibly revealing and are not suited yo a school setting however unless these extreme violations occur I don't see why girls legs are much of a problem to the school community and how girls with skirts that are an inch above the top of the knee are deemed unacceptable and these perfectly fine skirts are being forced to be replaced which see is wasteful. I hope school realises that there are a lot more important issues than trying to control the girls skirts and would also like to know the reasons why the skirts length is effecting the school
