Short School Skirts.

My elder sister wore her skirt so it resembled a belt. I was never that bothered about shirt length. As long as I coull wear my knee length white socks. School tried to ban these but failed.

We had a headmaster. He took great pleasure in lining us all up. Right leg cocked behind us and he'd measured our heels. He was rather creepy.

I’m starting to think that I have made it up confused

Some schools insist on a particular type of skirt that has a waist band with tiny spikes (or something) in it, that makes it uncomfortable to wear with the waist band turned over.
How weirdly medieval is that!
I’ll see if I can find a link, as it sounds like I’ve made it up!

I don’t think that skirts have ever been as short as they are now, girls have to wear dark shorts under them and dark tights.
Must be a challenge for all those teenage boys at school!

Nothing new, a Merseyside school is pulling schoolgirls over and measuring skirt lengths, too short.

This was being done when I was at school, in the 60’s.

The main difference it was our senior mistress who did the measuring, not male staff, which seems to be happening now. Don’t agree with that (the males measuring), but looking at some of our local girls on their way to school, they’re skirts hardly showing below their blazers.

‘‘Twas ever thus” I suppose.

(My parents, by the way, would totally have backed the school).
