A 12-year-old girl has been threatened with detention because her school trousers end at her ankles rather than her shoe line. The schoolgirl's mum has trawled through 17 stores in an attempt to buy her 6ft tall daughter a pair of trousers that fit her - but she hasn't been able to find an "appropriate" pair.
She claims to have spoken to the school about the situation - but says they have been less than sympathetic and instead threatened her daughter with detention. She told Mumsnet : "My daughter is 6ft tall in flat shoes. Last year, I got her long trousers in a size 10 and there were no problems. She had slim leg trousers. I always ensure she has the correct uniform.
