School uniforms and the strict rules surrounding them affecting our children.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The strict rules surrounding school uniforms is completely unacceptable. I first hand, with my children, have experienced the pure stress that schools inflict on the students and their parents regarding uniforms. As a whole, there is more pressing matters within schools that need focus over uniform.

Re-look at what is important in school settings. Is a child's health and mental well being less important than how they are presenting? Currently temperatures are reaching 30°c and boys are NOT being allowed to wear Smart shorts in high schools. The price of high school uniforms, especially for families with more than 1 child, are extortionate. More and more children are deliberately avoiding school because of the stress surrounding their uniform which is dramatically affecting their education.
