Uniforms have always been a thing that England is known for but at a certain high school, things have gotten a little bit out of hand. At Nailsea School in southwestern England, girls are forbidden to wear skirts. Faculty members have decided that the girls on campus are required to dress like boys, in standard issued trousers, to crush the issue of the hemlines being too short. “Educators say combating the rise of hemlines isn't about prudery but preventing the sexualization of children at ever-younger ages.”
I personally believe that this is pointless. Forcing the girls to dress like boys instead of addressing the issue doesn't make sense. The teens should be able to make their own decisions on keeping their skirts at the required length. It's especially unfair to the girls who follow the rules and keep their skirts the right length. If need be, the administration could easily ban the girls who decide that they want to go against the rules. Forcing the students to wear uniforms in the first place is a bit out of hand, because nobody really gets to show who they really are.
I think the school should reconsider this rule and think about how the girls are being treated. Forcing them to dress like the guys gives them no sense of individuality.
