What's worse is that we were actually forced to wear skirts, I got in so many arguments with teachers in secondary school because of it, because I never ever wore skirts or dresses as a kid/teenager and I hated that I was being made to do it. Pretty much all schools here have uniforms which i don't mind but that they forced girls to wear skirts I do have a problem with. Thankfully in my kids school now the girls can choose to wear a skirt or pants and guess what? about 99% of them wear pants...........

eta pants as in trousers that is

I was in the transitional era . Up until I was about 15 the girls had to wear skirts, then a large group from my year staged a protest about it and one got her dad (some bigwig lawyer) involved and eventually the school caved and allowed girls to wear trousers or leggings. It was like suffrage all over again... in a small Scottish high school . There should be a movie.
