Schoolgirls have been wearing such short skirts a Staffordshire school that they’ve been ordered to wear trousers instead. All skirts will be banned from September at Paget High School in Branston, Burton-upon-Trent. Tight-fitting trousers will also be forbidden and Muslim head-dresses will have to be ‘school blue’ colour. Head teacher Don Smith said: 'One of the big issues for us at the school has been the number of girls who have been wearing inappropriately short skirts. 'This has been an area of particular concern at a time when there has been a lot of material nationally about the sexualisation of young people.' Mr Smith said it would be impractical to police the length of girls’ skirts and said a blanket ban would be easier for staff to enforce. He said: 'We did not want to arrive at a situation where we were telling girls their skirts could only be a certain number of centimetres above or below the knee.' The head teacher said pupils’, parents’ and other teachers’ opinions were sought before the uniform rules were changed. The new clothing policy has been explained in a letter sent to parents of the school’s 1,000 pupils and will come into force after the summer holiday. The school also wants pupils to wear clip-on ties instead of traditional neckwear. This rule will be phased in over the next year and support will be given to parents unable to afford the new tie. The new uniform regime has not been well received by everyone, however. One parent, whose teenage daughter attends the school, said: 'I completely agree some girls were wearing skirts that were too short. 'However, I think girls should be allowed to be feminine. 'Other schools manage to let girls wear skirts while making sure they are not inappropriately dressed. 'I don’t see why Paget can’t do the same.' (Read by Renee Haines.

英國斯塔福德郡一所學校因為女生穿的裙子太短，下令讓她們改穿褲子。 從九月份起，特倫特河畔伯頓鎮布蘭斯頓的佩吉特高中將禁止女生穿任何款式的裙子。 同樣不許穿的還有緊身褲，此外穆斯林的頭巾顏色必須是“校服藍”。 校長唐?史密斯說：“學校里最大的問題之一就是很多女生穿的裙子都短得不像話。” “這方面在現今特別受關注，因為英國有許多方面都在慫恿年輕人‘性感化’。” 史密斯先生說，要管制女生裙子長度是不現實的，還是全面禁止穿裙比較方便教職工的管理。 他說：“我們不想碰到這種局面，就是告訴女生她們的裙子只能在膝蓋上或膝蓋下幾厘米。” 校長說，在修改這一著裝規定之前，已經征求過學生、家長和其他老師的意見。 學校在寄給本校1000名學生的家長的信中對新著裝政策做了解釋。這一規定將在暑假結束后開始生效。 學校還想讓學生佩戴夾式領帶，而不是傳統的領帶。 這條規定將在明年逐步實施，對于買不起新領帶的家長學校將提供資助。 不過，并不是所有人都對這一新的著裝制度表示歡迎。 該校一位十幾歲女生的家長說：“我完全同意有些女孩穿的裙子確實太短了。 “但是，我認為應該允許女孩子有女孩子的樣兒。” “其他學校允許女孩子穿裙子，同時又能確保她們不會穿著不當。 “我不明白為什么佩吉特高中不能也這么做。” 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯：馮明惠） |
