    my oldest son wants to wear a kilt to school... BUT, the school does have a dress code... and as far as skirts as concerned (and yes a kilt is a skirt) it cannot have a split above the knee... that kind of rules out a kilt since the apron does in fact split past the knee... now... will he wear on to school... you bet he will.... on the last day

    Better to recon the situation

    Being the father of a sometimes kilted son, I strongly suggest that you check out the teacher, principal and whoever runs the school and let them know of your intentions. Not to rain on the parade, but it is better to spare your son possible embarassment from both faculty and students.

    Hope for the best and good luck.

    hmm, and what - I wonder - is the reason for no split above the knee? My 2 c is not to show skin above the knee. Now, I don't foresee much skin showing if the apron should swing slightly

    I must not get agitated by such idiotic rules, I must not get agitated by such idiotic rules,I must not get agitated by such idiotic rules,I must not get agitated by such idiotic rules... Puh, I avoided an ulcer there

    I'm glad your son wants to wear his kilt to school, though
