Rejected petition Focus on teaching

Teachers are more bothered about the children’s appearance these days instead of the fact they are there to teach! Times have changed, children are non binary, trans ect they should be allowed to express themselves with their image

More details

I am now homeschooling my daughter because of the abuse she was getting from teachers about her uniform - nails, hair colour ect, children would have less mental health issues if they were left alone to be themselves and teachers do their job and teach!
