Yes - how dare a male be allowed to wear what they want! We can thank peer pressure to keep them in check.Mr. Callwood stressed that while the policy makes provision to allow for a boy to wear a skirt if he so chooses, the school administration has some leeway and a decision would be based on whether a skirt on a boy leads to adverse outcomes at the school in question.
It's kind of obvious, though, that they know they can change the policy and boys won't wear a skirt:
LOL - "cases" as if wearing a skirt is a disease/disorder.To assuage concerns on the matter of boys wearing skirts, Mr. Callwood stated, "We know in our community males don't wear skirts, so that's something known."
He added, "We had no cases in St. Thomas where any male wanted to wear any skirt to school. We have no cases with that, so all the males will be coming to school in a pants."
I'll be brutally honest - there's no way I'd have worn a skirt in gradeschool had they changed the policy. I wouldn't have had the courage unless other classmates wore them first - my guess is the "troublemakers" would have, and set a bad precedent first... assuming their parent would even let them - which is very unlikely.
