He Put His Daughter In A Private School Since She Was Getting Severely Bullied, But She Hates Wearing A Skirt Every Day And Wants Them To Move Back Home
This man and his family recently had to relocate and move to the south for a new job opportunity. But unfortunately, his daughter, who is just 14, has been having a really rough time at school.
He claimed that the schools in their new area are quite horrible, causing his daughter to get severely bullied at one of the public schools.
“And the teachers brushed it off, saying my daughter should learn to defend herself,” he recalled.
The teachers at that specific public school also weren’t very good at educating the students. So, his daughter began to perform badly when it came to schoolwork.
That’s why he and his wife pulled their daughter out of that first public school and tried a few other schools. But, sadly, nothing changed, and his daughter continued to struggle.
At that point, he and his wife decided to look into a private school.
“We visited it, and it had one of the best scores in the city with a zero-tolerance policy for bullying,” he explained.
There was just one problem: there was a strict dress code requiring all girls to wear skirts as part of their uniform every day.
Now, his daughter is what he calls a “tomboy” and absolutely hates wearing dresses and skirts.

He and his wife always respected that in the past, too. But, when it came to selecting a school, he felt like there were no other options.
His daughter, on the other hand, is really opposed to wearing a skirt as part of her uniform and now wants to move back home to their old city. His wife is even considering moving back as well.
“But I told my daughter that she had to wear it and that we weren’t going to move back,” he revealed.
According to him, his daughter has made a couple of friends at her new school– which is an upside. Nonetheless, she still hates her school uniform and won’t stop asking to move back.
However, that just isn’t feasible for him right now since his mother also lives with them due to health issues.
“And no one else can help her right now,” he vented.
So, he has been forcing his daughter to wear the skirt uniform to school every day despite her hatred for it. And now, he’s not sure if that just makes him a jerk and if he really should just move his family back to their old town.
Can you understand why he felt like this private school was the best choice for his daughter? At the same time, do you think forcing his daughter to wear a uniform is the only option? What would you do in his shoes?
