Forgot my PE kit.............?

Question

Are teachers allowed to make you take your shoes and socks off if you forget your kit? I forgot my PE kit and was told i had to take off my socks and shoes and roll up my trousers for an indoor badminton lesson. Is this allowed? Why did i need to do this?

Answer 1

I think you should have asked to speak to a school couselor. There are germs on the floor and I can see the teacher asking you to remove your shoes because they could harm the floor, but asking you to remove your socks was completely out of line.  I am hoping that you are planning on reporting this teacher.  It sounds to me like the teacher did it to "punish" you for forgetting your PE kit and took it a bit too far.  I hope you spoke to your parents about this also, they do need to know.

Peace & Love  :)

Answer 2

...You've already had this question answered.

Answer 3

you should have refused

Answer 4

The PE staff should have given you loaner clothes to wear.

Answer 5

Yes, I would say so, because I assume you were learning on a wooden court, and shoes that are not for this situation can damage the floor.

Answer 6

ask the Principal what the rules are

Answer 7

As long as he didn't put your feet in his mouth I think he's safe.
