should school skirts be below the knee?

should school skirts be below the knee?
shad0w
My 17 year old daughter is having to make sure all her school skirts are on or below knee line.
the reason given in school is that above the knee skirts are too provocative and send out the wrong message to men.
The uniform for girls can be trousers or skirts.
I dont see why a skirt must be so long if the girls are not showing their underwear (because they can wear opaque tights) but that is not considered a reasonable compromise.
What does everyone think?
Should a school girl have to wear a skirt that is knee length or below only or are schools who make this rule being unreasonable?
Why not just make it trousers for everyone for example.

I don't believe in school skirts, if boys are wearing trousers then so should the girls.

Whatever the length every child should wear the same. Unifrom prevents people from eing singled put due to not been able to afford the latest fashion items !

I don't know - I remember rolling mine up so it was shorter!! haha! So from a girl's point of view you feel more attractive to the boys! But I can see where parents are coming from! Maybe just above the knee so it's a compromise but not ridiculously short??

Perhaps JUST above the knee, some schoolgirls are wearing them a bit short these days, but the school should say something.
