Colin the Iconoclast

[Phogfan86]

My son is also eager to wear his kilt to school. He's a middle-schooler -- a 6th-grader in the midst of 7th and 8th graders. Call me a wuss, but I suggested he wait until 8th grade, when he and his buddies are kings of the hallways. He's a very sensitive kid, and I'm concerned one sideways comment from an older kid would cause problems.

But I think the vice principal's excuse is weak sauce.

Water! If the Caledonian society finds out about this.

Colin is a sensitive kid, too, Which is why I am surprised. But he is among the popular kids in his class, so that helps. I did suggest he wear a pair of shorts underneath, which he had already considered- because I know that among the kids there some will want to look. (Apologies to the fashion police- I'll take the ticket.)

I wonder if they let the little pre-teen girls dress "distracting" at his school.

Also I've learned it's better to ask for forgiveness that for permission. if you ask permission and are told no, then you would be disobeying direct orders to not do something. If you just do it, you force them to breach a discrimination issue.

Well done to you son you should be proud, my son is 5 years old and currently he only wears his to events like the highland games, or celtic festivals. I think he'll have a pretty big pair of stones on him though once he gets to Middle School.
