Allow all students to wear trousers and school shorts as part of school uniform.
Trousers for many girls are more practical and comfortable enforcing the wearing of skirts plays into a misogynistic sterotype of feminity that is not longer useful and potentially harmful.
Both boys & girls should be allowed to wear shorts in summer to get enough Vitamin D which comes from sunlight between April and September between the hours 11am - 3pm when children are at school.
