Tired of enforcing appropriate hemline, some schools in England are resorting to what has been called "the nuclear option": banning skirts altogether!
The decision at Nailsea and other schools to forbid skirts springs from the exasperation of administrators and teachers, who were tired of spending precious time forcing students to correct wardrobe malfunctions instead of getting them to ponder the Norman Conquest.
Girls who might've kissed their parents goodbye in the morning looking like paragons of virtue were arriving on campus with their skirts bunched up at the waist and drastically shortened. One headmaster in western England complained that his female students wore skirts that were "almost like belts," while a headmaster in a Scottish border town warned that the girls' increasingly revealing attire risked encouraging "inappropriate thoughts" among the boys.
Better to establish an environment that focuses attention on learning, not legs, than to maintain the status quo for the sake of tradition, educators say.

In a similar fashion, when I was in high school, they did away with our lunch hour because some kids were doing drugs.
Well, IMHO what they consider inappropriate thoughts are entirely appropriate. Checking out hot chics was the only thing that I used to like about going to school. What a shame.
So a few kids and a few parents will be pissed. Boohoo.

It is more than appropriate, it's what made possible their own existence. Parents should be glad that sexual attraction and desire exists.
The problem is that the girls are hiking up their own skirts. It's not that they're removing burkas and showing their faces to non-family members.
It's what the Catholic school girls here do all the time, and they end up looking like sluts. that's the look they want, though. Maybe instead of blaming the boys for a purely natural reaction to a purely natural distraction, they should be educating the girls to have a little more self-esteem, and not have to show off their thighs to be popular among both sexes.
"I went to a school with a uniform"
Interesting. Our school was exclusively for people.
