The simple answer to school dress codes is that they evolve and change over time because let's face it, times have changed.

They did give women a little more freedom and especially gave them the chance to retain their modesty while participating in activities.Although since they are allowed to show their legs in PE, why is there such a ridiculous fuss about longer school skirts. Twice, both times in blizzard conditions, we were permitted to wear the tracksuit the school had falsely conned us into purchasing. I can just imagine them not being willing to give into the 'lefty, PC nonsense' of girls wearing shorts or tracksuit bottoms.

Plimsolls or trainers, (except for Games) are not acceptable and may not be worn without the full PE kit. Many women like the ease and freedom of the skort, and the fact that it reveals less of the figure than does a pair of shorts.Past a certain point, the waistline will start to dig into my skin, but as long as I stay within a five-pound range, they fit just fine. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.

It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. I don't wear short skirts, so I'm comfortable not having shorts under my long skirts, because they're pretty modest anyway. A skort is a garment that may slightly resemble a skirt, but has divided legs that give you the ability to be more active. I know that, sadly, at a higher level there are all sorts of sexist sponsorship issues that lead to skimpy outfits for sportswomen, but why don't schoolgirls get to wear shorts and comfy t-shirts?Since this is a blue jean skort it goes with everything, but just looks nicer than wearing a pair of shorts.

It might take some getting used to having the front look like a skirt, but still feel like a pair of shorts. This gives them a little bit dressier look, but they still have the freedom to move around like they would if the had on a pair of shorts. The skirt part makes them look like they are wearing a short skirt, but with the divided legs, they can kick and jump without worrying about what someone might see. If a member of stafffeels that what a student iswearing is inappropriate, they will ask the studentto address the issue.I was out with a group of guys today and they were reminiscing about sadistic PE masters making them do rugby in their pants if they forgot their PE kit. This looks more feminine than a pair of shorts and makes climbing in and out of the car a lot easier than it would be if I was wearing a skirt.
