My son was banned from wearing shorts in school during the heatwave - but was told a skirt is fine

A mother claims her son was banned from wearing shorts to school - despite there being a heatwave - and was told he could opt for a skirt instead.

Toni Hurst from Stockport says she was baffled when Hazel Grove High School told her that Tom Foster, 13, would be put in isolation if he didn't follow the rules.

She explained that a member of staff initially told her that 'boys are free to wear skirts instead of long trousers' over the phone.

So? I don’t ever remember a boy wearing shorts to school. 1952-1964. No AC back then either! We survived just fine and loved looking at the girls in dresses.

I remember teen girls going to school with below the knee skirts held by a belt. Once at the school, they would go into the restroom and pull up the skirt above the knee, then folding the top down inside the belt.
I remember a few girls back in 1963-64 that still get my heart rate up after seeing them! Alas, they were under 16 and knew what they were doing to the boys!

There was kind of a fad some years ago; we used to see men wearing kilts. But it petered out. My favorite kilted man:

Culottes

That actually came from Spanish 'culotes' or big asses. Kid should look in the mirror before wearing a 'culotte'.

The next directive coming from this school will be:

“We are removing all the urinals in the Boys’ restrooms. Male students are forbidden to stand when they pee.”

While I agree that the school is an illogical bureaucracy, I do recall going to a non air conditioned High School in Florida in the mid-60s. It was miserable. But realistically shorts wouldn’t have been a bit better than jeans. Not in terms of temperature comfort.

If I were a boy back then, I would have worn a small skirt and no underwear so my b@lls hung down.

If they had dared to confront me, I would identified as Hilary Clinton.

Nothing new about skorts. My wife has worn them for years.

Don’t think they ever became a sensation though.

The Drunken Scotsman

Well a Scottsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked the he’d drunk more than his share
He fumbled ‘round until he could no long keep his feet
And he stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the street

Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
He stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the street

About the thime two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye
“See yon sleeping Scottsman, so strong a handsome built
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt”

Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt

They krept up on the sleeping Scottsman quite as could be
They lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
Was nothing more htna God had graced him with upon his birth

They marveled for a moment, then one said “We must be gone.
Let’s leave a present for our friend before we move along”
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied in to a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scotts kilt did lift and show

Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
Around the bonnie star the scotts kilt did lift and show

Now the Scottsman woke to natures call and stumbled for the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says, to what’s before his eyes,
“Lad, I don’t know where you;ve been, but I see you’ve won first prize”

Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
Lad, I don’t know where you’ve been, but I see you’ve won first prize

Maybe if he had just wore a pair that were 2-3 sizes too big and sagged them under his ass, that would have passed muster.
