Kilt problem

**MacMillan of Rathdown** · 11th January 08, 03:49 PM

er... why don't you see what your school has to say about it, first. If they don't have a problem, then you're on pretty solid ground when discussing it with your father. If they nix the idea in the first place-- well, why aggravate you dad by discussing something you may not be able to do?

Further to what AA says above:

He's got a cunning plan there. Do the well dressed, waistcoat and tie thing. It's hard to argue your kid out of "dressing up".

And something else.

If the school is okay with you wearing the kilt, and your dad reluctantly goes along with it, wear underwear. Nothing will get your kilt wearing banned faster, and a big "I told you so" from the home front, than some one complaining they saw your junk at lunch. I know commando is cool, but sometimes discretion is the far better part of valor.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice.

Well, there was another kid that wore a kilt to school, mind you it wasn't worn very good I should say, and I pointed that out, but he shot it down.

I have long hair so I grab attention already, but he thinks that by wearing the kilt it will get more attention and possibly bad ideas/thoughts of me. I can see where he's going at, but I'm agreeing with it (for the lack of a better word)

I shall try to talk to him later on and see what I can do, but it leads no where, I'll jsut drop it.

but he only said not to school, he didn't say out in public

Someone allready asked what i was going to ask (What does the school say about you wearing a kilt?),but I don't think you ever said.
I know most schools frown on it and even deny wearing of a kilt.
It can be beat under discrimination,but if your under 18 your parents would have to be envolved,an well, we are ready know where your dad stands.

So if this is the case,forget it untill your in college an on your own,than do what ever you want.

I'm pretty sure the school will let me wear it, I've read the rule book for something saying I can't wear it and haven't found anything against. Plus, the school I go to like students to be different.

You are wise in your ways, sharpdressedscot.

And cunning, too....

I think you just gave yourself some good advice, Remember He's just a dad looking out for his child, and speaking from experience as a father of 4 he'll come around sooner or later.
