Rejected petition Change High School Uniform policy so Boys can wear shorts during summer

I want all schools to allow boys to wear shorts during summer. Girl skirts or shorts and boys shorts.

More details

The temperatures we are having is far too hot for schools to expect students to learn when all they can think about is how hot they are. My son has just had to have time off school due to a severe case of heat rash. This needs to change so all children can learn through Sumner. This is an on going issue with many schools. Smart shorts does not make students learn any less as the school claim it does. Climate change, warmer temperatures is making more children need time off school!
