Rejected petition Allow boys to wear shorts in high school.

During the summer especially it becomes very hot and uncomfortable in schools. Whilst girls are allowed to wear skirts to school most school still don’t allow boys to wear shorts! This can cause irritation and bad behaviour.
I believe that boys should also be able to feel cooler and more comfortable while they study.

More details

Girls can wear skirts instead of trousers so why can’t boys do the same with shorts.

Being hot and uncomfortable causes irritation and this can lead to bad behaviour and inability to concentrate on learning.
