That works fine for, say, college, and maybe even high school. But if you're a middle schooler and your parents are the ones choosing? It can really, really suck. I mean, I suppose you could just flaunt the rules somehow and get kicked out, but that's pretty drastic if you care at all about future educational prospects.

Well tbh religious schools here do actually screen candidates, and they interview the girls apart from their parents to establish if they're actually the right match for the school. And this happens before middle school, because here usually middle-high is linked.

Then again, I'm not somebody who thinks that being told what to wear for a few hours is tEH WORST THING EVARRR. Big whoop, they can wear whatever they want after school and on weekends. What, you think I loved the shirt colors we had to choose from?

AYRT

I guess I'm coming from a different place. (Namely, non-gender-conforming female going to secular private school.) I guess my school also screened candidates, but it was a purely academic thing. Also, there's no way in hell that most of the parents at my school would have let their kids opt out because they objected to the uniform.

I'm the anon above who argued about wearing a skirt in middle school. If I'd been forced to wear a skirt every day at school, I *probably* would have dealt with it, but I'm certain that I'd have been significantly less motivated, and my schoolwork may have suffered. It might seem silly, but I've found that being forced to dress in a feminine manner actively makes me unhappy, in a small but very real way.

When I say screening, the thing is, over here dressing a certain way is tied to being part of a certain segment of religious society, where it's mostly still accepted that women wear skirts*

(*there are a lot of complexities, but I'm simplifying)

Therefore, if you consider yourself part of religious society, it should mean that you generally accept that women mostly wear skirts, and if you wish to be educated in a religious institution it's expected that you know that it will adhere to the norms of religious society.

It's not so much objecting to the uniform as screening if the child is religious or not.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from on that one. I'm not Muslim, but if I wanted to go to a Muslim school, I would assume that their dress code would include that I needed to cover my hair and have most of my skin covered; they're a religious school, their religion says that women need to dress like that. That's not unreasonable. (In your case, though, if the child doesn't want to be at that school, obviously that changes things.)
