Schoolgirls have been wearing such short skirts at Paget High School in Branston that they've been ordered to wear trousers instead. All skirts will be banned from September. Tight-fitting trousers will also be forbidden and Muslim head-dresses will have to be “school blue’’ color.
Head teacher Don Smith said, One of the big problems for us at the school has been the number of girls who have been wearing inappropriately short skirts. This has been an area of particular concern at a time when there has been a lot of material nationally about the sexualisation of young people.”
He also said, “ It will be impractical to police the length of girls' skirts. A blanket ban will be easier for staff to put into practice. We did not want to arrive at a situation where we were telling girls their skirts could only be a certain number of centimeters above or below the knee. Pupils', parents' and other teachers' opinions were sought before the uniform rules were changed.，，
The new clothing policy has been explained in a letter sent to parents of the school's 1,000 pupils and will e into force after the summer holiday. Support will be given to parents unable to afford the new tie. The school also wants pupils to wear clip-on(夹式)ties instead of traditional neckties.
But the new uniform rules have not been well received by everyone. One parent, whose teenage daughter attends the school, said, “I pletely agree some girls were wearing skirts that were too short. However, I think girls should be allowed to be feminine(女性化的).Other schools manage to let girls wear skirts while making sure they are not inappropriately dressed. I don't see why Paget can't do the same.

【小题2】推断题。结合第4段The new clothing policy has been explained in a letter sent to parents of the school’s 1,000 pupils and will e into force after the summer holiday.（学校在寄给本校1000名学生的家长的信中对新着装政策做了解释。这一规定将在暑假结束后开始生效。）可知答案。
【小题3】作者态度题。结合第3段He also said, “ It will be impractical to police the length of girls' skirts. A blanket ban will be easier for staff to put into practice.（史密斯先生说，要管制女生裙子长度是不现实的，还是全面禁止穿裙比较方便教职工的管理。）可知Mr. Smith支持这项规定
