    If a boy wants to wear a skirt, should he be told he has to wear trousers?

    Showing your age there. He had retired before I went there in 1974. Though I knew him through my Dad. Sheffield Wednesday supporter. I went to a few games at the Sty with him and my Dad before I was old enough to know better. Fortunately Dad had already been taking me to Oakwell so I never felt the affinity for them

    Exactly. Teenagers need to push against authority. If the uniform was a short skirt they'd be wearing them below the knee! Best thing is not to have uniform at all imo.

    Thing with a uniform though, is that it's just that. It's uniform. Doing away with uniform brings a whole new set of problems. I remember 'non uniform days' being really stressful, as we didn't have any money and I didn't have all the latest gear. Kids were brutal with stuff like that when I was at school. I can only imagine what it might be like now.

    It wouldn't be the same as non uniform days though. Most kids can't afford to wear the latest stuff for wearing to school every day so it would settle to jeans/ tracky bottons and t shirts like in France.
