Ok......changing the shirts from white to blue is meh. Requiring kids to have play clothes is something you could make the arguement that it's a bit nitpicky, but ultimately a good idea.....
But requiring all kids to have ponytails??? What POSSIBLE reason could they argue for here? Now it's sounding less like an uptight but well meaning policy, and more like a sex thing.
Anyone else read that bit and get IMMEDIATE ick feeling?
I got the ick feeling when they said “no leggings, but tights are allowed” like, wtf. That is so fucking creepy.
Yeah, when I was at school (a very long time ago) we were told not to wear lycra shorts under our skirts in summer. No justification was given.
That was a decision which provided the impetus for enough kids and parents to get together and force a change to allow girls to wear trousers and shorts, but it took ages.
She'll soon find out that, surprisingly, blue shows dirt more than white. It's why my kid's school changed from blue shirts burgundy sweatshirts.
I'm not in any way defending the new policy, as I feel something about it is suspicious.
That being said, I have a hard time imagining blue being easier for stains to show than white. I'm not even sure I'm saying you're wrong. I'm just saying my brain is trying to follow your logic, and coming up with an error 404.
It's baffling. Coming from Australia, most schools have uniforms. With varying degrees of age formality from requiring blazers and ties to simple polo shirts emblazoned with the school logo.
When I was in high school, my school changed its logo, and at the same time made other updates to the uniform. Only there was a transition period, all uniform sales were the new version but the previous version remained conformity with policy for either 3 or 5 years.
There were also systems in place to help kids whose families can't afford uniforms, typically via parents donating uniforms their kids grew out of.
The only sensible reason I can think of for this is because of head lice. It reduces the risk of kids passing them on to each other (like when they hug, play physical games, sit close enough they're touching, etc). However reading the rest of their requirements my guess is this is more about keeping the kids in line.
