First topic message reminder :

A mum has called her daughter's school uniform policy "ridiculous" because she claims they "banned" her daughter from wearing boot-like shoes.
Kasia Kowalska-Trela, 41, from Salford claimed her daughter Oliwia, 14, was told to find another pair of shoes from the school's lost and found cupboard, or face detention if she didn't comply. After recently paying £50 for the shoes, Kowalska-Trela was frustrated she had to buy a new pair.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, but the school classes them as boots," she told Manchester Evening News.

"They’re half an inch higher than other shoes. It’s ridiculous."

Son and grandson had to wear black leather shoes....not trainers or boots, so that's what we bought.

The most ridiculous aspect is the fact that this is in the papers, if the girl is stressed maybe her mum should have thought of that before she chased her 5 minutes of fame.

Yes, once again someone is just attention seeking. I'm sure we didn't used to see "news" stories about girls being told off for wearing the wrong shoes at school.

There's another story floating around about a girl of 15 who wears a corset. Who on earth told the papers about that one?

Ah the forum useful idiot who thinks they are an expert on the emotions of people

Everyone has a right to express a grievance, its about time you got that into that empty head of yours lol

In this case the mother had a valid reason

For one the school rule is daft

Second its not flexible enough

Three making a child feel they committed a heinous crime over shoe wear is about as idiotic as it comes

It's only certain items you have to buy ie blazers and badges
The rest of the stiff you can get anywhere

When I was a kid some post war kids went to school in near rags, without coats in cold rainy weather, shoes which leaked.

Kids to day have better clothes in general but still go to school like 'ragamuffins.
Gotta feeling I may regret saying that. lol!

Shoes??? FFS!

School dress codes are the ultimate in PC ridiculousity. How important is it in the grand scheme of things? Kids should be able to go barefoot, if they want.

What will the PC idiots dream up next??
