June Holiday Week 2I think it is time someone actually reviewed the school rules. Yes I agree that our uniforms should be tucked in neatly and the girls’ skirts should be of reasonable length. However, I fully object to the school’s new rule that bans students from wearing shorts shorter than the school’s physical education (PE) shorts, for example FBT’s. There are two major obstacles to this rule: students and the fact that they have to wear short shorts for some activities. If the school had not ban FBT for the past years, why suddenly ban it now? Firstly, students will definitely not adhere to this new rule, as they do not see anything wrong in wearing these shorts. And since the school makes it a must for students to wear their school bottoms at the waist, students will also wear their shorts at their waist, which makes it even shorter. If the students wear their shorts lower than the waist they are just a little shorter than the school’s PE shorts. Another reason why this rule will not work out is because the sport co-curriculum activities (CCA) groups have to wear FBT’s. Their jersey shorts are either FBT’s or very similar to FBT’s. Therefore the school either forces the sport CCA groups to make new jerseys with longer pants or change the new rule. Also, at the four schools combined annual sports meet, it will be very unique to see our students, in their PE shorts, competing with the other students, in their FBT’s. I really hope the school will consider reforming this new rule.
