Holton parents - you have got to help your girls out with these skirts.

Are you saying the inform is spankies? How on earth do you think that’s appropriate? Learning in spankies? WTF.

When we toured Holton last year, my daughter thought that the uber-short skirts and rules against wearing pants until winter contradicted the school’s messaging about empowering girls. She chose a different (co-ed) school where we see a variety of skirt and shorts lengths, as well as plenty of girls wearing sweatpants, joggers and jeans.

They are not covered up. The lululemon tiny shorts would be far more covered up. This is disturbing amounts of not covered up. One had on a thing this morning. Why do I know this? The whole coffee shop knows this.

Thong, ha.

This is okay for a swim suit. If the girls are comfortable, let it go. What is so bad about underwear? Not a big deal.

Are you serious? I don’t feel comfortable with my 14 year old outside in an exposed thong for school and in public. Why on earth do you?

I would not like my high school kid wearing a thong swimsuit, either.

It is certainly a choice, not one I would let me own kids make, but other people’s choices don’t bother me like they do for you.

I don't understand the problem. It's a private school. Choose a different school if it bothers you so much. Go to a different coffeeshop. Stop policing girls' and women's bodies!

My daughter would be so self-conscious and uncomfortable in those skirts. We are working on her personal confidence and feeling comfortable with her (tiny! cute!) body — not that I *want* her wearing skimpy clothes, but I do want her to feel confident and happy with herself, whatever she chooses to wear — but she’s not there now. She would hate those skirts.

+2, I think the uniform leads to self-selection of certain personality types at the school (and makes girls who don't have those personality types coming from the lower school want to leave). It is just not inclusive.

Nobody is policing their bodies. But nobody wants to see their a$$ cheeks hanging out in your face when you’re sitting a coffee shop and they’re standing in front of you. Get a grip.

And like it or not, it reflects on the school identity and culture.

What kind of personality is that? And are people here agreeing that it's the skirt themselves, as provided through the clothing vendor, that are the problem? Or are acceptable uniforms being sized down or altered to make them inappropriate?

Yeah, nutcase, I’m not going to stop going to my neighborhood coffee shop because you refuse to address sending your kid to school, not the beach, school, and in public, in her swimwear and insist we are all being so crazy if we object to seeing their as$ cheeks. It’s actually illegal to go outside with your as& out. That’s the issue. The actual police may well be policing your ridiculous choices.

DP but the skirt itself, as shown on the website, is not appropriate for school. But it's the school that chooses the uniform, and it shows a lack of discernment to pick out some kind of hentai-inspired silhouette for pubescent students.

LOL let me know the next time police pick up a rich private school girl for wearing a short skirt.
