Ban pleated skirts in schools.
Ban pleated skirts in schools or offer more options by law.
Parents, particularly Mothers, are run into the ground, trying to manage work, school runs, looking after, teaching and pouring into their children, feeding the kids, mountains of ironing every week, and much much more. If you've ever tried ironing a pleated skirt, you know that it is unnecessarily time consuming, unhelpful and adds extra stress to an already arduous task. Pupils and students should have a choice of a straight skirt, pleated skirt or trousers, by law, to alleviate this stress.
