skinney school trousers

 I agree with that also but what difference does it make in the inch of trousers . And both my kids go 2 this school in full uniform and right eqipment everyday and if a child needs punishment then fair 2 it. Black trousers not leggings r black trousers 

#26: - Re:  

 if the ones in leggings wore trousers then the school probably wouldn't have had to go this far. 

#29: -  

But the uniform requirement is black tailored trousers not leggings so really the school is just following the rules in place.

 I totally agree and it's interesting how the better educated parents seem to as well. If you value education and want your child to succeed you recognise that sometimes you have to do things you do not want to. The petitions is barely literate so we can see how well the originator has been educated, maybe you don't see the point but others do.

What a scumbag

 Then the school should deal with the ones wearing leggings  , my daughter is in the top 40 at that school and wears black skinny SCHOOL trouser,  obviously they don't  stop her learning .

 Legging  fine .. but they are picking on students who have skinny  SCHOOL trousers on .

 I am very educated thank you and so is my child  , I usually support the school,  but I can not agree with this, we are not a nanny state  . And our children are not robots  , they are individuals .

 Yes im the originator and educated if u dont agree thats yr opinion but dont start slating other peoples opinions either . The school should have stopped these trousers from day 1 not half way through a term or after a few years . And its what retailers are selling at the moment because its whats selling off the rail . Thanku

 No but if put in isolation or expelled would and its not fair . Just for sake of trousers x

 I agree 100%

To me - uniform is uniform and Barnsley Academy have always clearly stated what is accetable and what isn't.  Children should wear the correct uniform and keep other clothes for after school.  All part of learning to follow rules.  I agree that whatever they wear doesn't affect their education but where do you draw the line?  Going in casual clothes, having lots of piercings and dressed like punk rockers won't effect their education either - should we allow this?  In my opinion it is either all or nothing.  Schools have rules just like people do at home (well most!).  In just the same way we expect our children to follow our rules at home, schools expect the children to follow their rules at school and parents should support the school in implementing these.

 My daughter wouldnt wear black trousers out of school hours because she wears them at school we all like 2 look n dress different out of work aswell its called choice 

I have a general office job that involves having meetings with external people. If I turned up to work in leggings I'd be asked to go home and change as it is not appropriate dress (unpaid I presume!).

Secondary school is supposed to prepare our young uns for adult life, so asking them not to go to school in leggings I.e. Adhering to uniform regulations is just preparing them for work! Many jobs have dress codes (even when leggings are acceptable) and these days if you don't comply you get fired!
