Naturally with a blog entitled "My favourite things" i would strive to write about... MY FAVOURITE THINGS. But today, at school, a new rule cropped up, and it's probably my least favourite rule, EVER.
I can deal with things like "You need to wear uncomfortable dress shoes" or "No hoodies" or "Only school regulated clothing allowed" since everything can be "cute" as long as you take the time to modify their looks... (although i modified to to make it more comfortable for me)
But today a few of the female students were appearntly told that we were no longer allowed to wear any over knee socks or thigh socks to school anymore, because "Here in North America, it connotes sexiness. And that is not appropriate for school."
And i would understand and agree with the rules - but i believe that as long as a student does not intend for her outfit to give off "sexy" vibes, then it won't. I for one, wear thigh socks or over knee socks because i have very sensitive skin, and the socks prevent skin-to-chair contact when i sit down, especially on the backs of my knees, and that's really the only reason i wear them.
Anyway, just a short complaint on that. Even if the school said no, i intend to wear them until i can find a good pair of winter tights, and if anyone complains, well, they can complain to my mother, who agrees that i should not wear regular short socks for school, since i oftentimes come home with a red, angry rash on the backs of my legs from sitting in plastic chairs.
I mean, COME ON. Don't punish the girls for your own dirty thinking. We never intended it to be that way, nor did we think of it that way. The only people who would see it that way, are the people who want to see it that way.
