Pants were only invented for horse riding in Ancient Greece but were dropped pretty quickly. They were resurrected in China in the 10th century and in Britain for women in the 19th century, again for horse riding.
As we dont do much horse riding any more in general, it is probably time to get everyone back into skirts are they were historically meant to be. Has anyone called the education department to see whether this is a rogue principal or is it to be department policy? I would suggest the former. I have seen some principals under stress do some strange things.

Any chance this letter in today's press explains the reason, if NSW like Victoria ..... "Having spent more than three decades in Victorian primary classroom teaching from the 1970s to 2003, the transformation of both the content of the curriculum and the teaching styles advocated in 2021 are mind-boggling. Dominated by an entrenched Marxist-designed platform, Victorian public primary education is focused more on left wing indoctrination, non competitive physical activity, social inclusiveness and personal development. Academic achievement is almost a distraction. Within senior classrooms you will not find weekly spelling tests, no dictation or comprehension exercises, no rote learning of multiplication tables, little formal handwriting practice and negligible discussion of current affairs." |

Total bullshyte from a troglodyte. And how would he know, being out of teaching for 18 years? The type of nonsense you'd expect from the late (of this site) and totally unlamented Stayer.
Spoken as I do as one with a double digit number of current and retired teachers as friends or acquaintances, including three principals, who for the main part have totally different perspectives.

certain teachers pushed left wing propaganda at my daughter's school. She came home and informed me that the students were told not to repeat what was being discussed, to their parents. My daughter was brought up in a family which keeps an open mind on politics, so she didn't follow that instruction and 'blabbed'. When I queried what was happening, at the principal's office, she disclaimed all knowledge. But another teacher, who used to be a psychologist...and was a good friend of mine...revealed that there was definitely a left-wing element in the staff who were attempting to brainwash the kids.
I have two schoolteachers in my close family. They report that this goes on all the time. About time they got back to teaching what they should and leave kids to make up their own minds. |

I can't even begin to tell how many times I've had to correct misconceptions my children have come home with, from school...even to one teacher telling my eldest that the Beatles were ' total rubbish'.
it's taken ten years of endlessly playing my albums, to convince her they aren't. They have too much power over our children. |

From you post I would assume all your teaching acquittances are in the private sector and not in public schools. If that is the case, your are most likely correct.

Going by the following article in this morning's press it looks like I have gone off a bit too early assuming private schools are immune from left wing indoctrination and social inclusiveness . "Students at Ivanhoe Grammar are wearing rainbow-themed clothes on Monday instead of school uniform in order to protest against homophobia, interphobia and biphobia. The elite private school ( a second tier private school, rather than elite ) is among hundreds of Victorian schools, colleges, councils and organisations marking IDAHOBIT Day. The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia aims to raise awareness of the issues faced by LGBTIQ+ people in the community. What will they come up with next ? Your guess is as good as mine as long as it has some obscure cause to suit an agenda. Ivanhoe Grammar students were asked to come to school dressed in pride colours and make a gold-coin donation. Students of the co-ed school were asked to dress appropriately and ensure they did not show bare midriffs or piercings. The move reflects schools across the state demonstrating support for gender diverse students. |

Political correctness gone mad in NSW, stopping Sikh boys carrying knives to school. I say boys without knowing anything about Sikhs - just a wild and crazy guess that this essential religious right never extended to girls.

The Sikh question will cause the politically corrects of the world great distress Taz. In fact I predict their heads will probably explode. Always a possibility when the simple minded are confronted with a problem and they don’t know which side to be on! Sikh boys ( and it is only boys) carrying knives is both sexist ( bad) and a symbol of their religion ( very bad ). But Sikhs are definitely a minority( good) and tend to have dark skin ( very good) . The poor PC brigade won’t know who to be offended at!

They always step up to help during times of disasters too. Like last years bushfires and this years floods. But if boys can carry kives, why cant girls ???

I grew up with Sikhs my best friends at school, 6 of them all cousins, all with the name Singh. They all had arranged marriages so followed their faith and customs which included the so called 5 Ks.
All wore a metal bangle, some had the wooden comb, none wore the tradition linen underwear, none had uncut hair and and while all owned one, none brought a dagger to school.
