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.

Yeah, man. Do a kilt. They have non-plaid, more modern looking ones online. I see a lot of them in Chicagoland.
Yep, and they should be outlawed. Because you see her walking down the street or in the grocery store. You think she’s wearing a super short skirt and you get all giddy. Then you realize that they’re really shorts and not a skirt.
That is just soul-crushing, in a still-pleasant sort of way. But it takes a moment to recover.
Utilikilts!
The real ones are expensive, but there are knockoffs now. Even Carhartt makes a “work kilt”.
“He’d be put in isolation? Like one of those sweat boxed the North Vietnamese put POWs in?”
Back in the day they were sent to goof off in the gym.
Work skirt for men, nope

I don’t own one, but if I lived in the UK I would consider having one just for fun :)
Wouldn’t work hiking around in the woods and doing anything physical. We were just simply walking from class to class and sitting in a desk. It was hot and miserable but shorts wouldn’t have made it any better.
Then…kilts it is. Who cares?
My daughters wore the for lacrosse and field hockey 25 years ago. Fortunately, women’s spots uniforms have come a long way since then.
circa 1963, the priests would have slapped me and when my dad found out he would have slapped me long time.
Concur. I grew up in the South. My family house did not have air conditioning until I was 12. During that time (in the 60s to the 70s), no male above the age to 10 wore shorts unless they were working out. I wore shorts for a few short years in the 1980s (My girlfriend bought them for me.) and stopped because I thought they looked stupid. I still live in the South and always wear trousers, regardless of the weather.
All the boys show up in mini-skirts, hairy legs and no panti...er no under pants.
Get him a kilt ... and have him wear it in the traditional manner. I bet they change their minds real quick.
Change schools, dummie.
Utkilts.com has it covered.
Had to look up school and town. Oh England!
The Scotsman
Seamus Kennedy
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how we walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Was nothing more than 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 into a bow
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what’s before his eyes.
O lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
O lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize
