This is how the schools are here in Arizona. Uniforms, but pants and shorts for all the students. Girls can also wear skirts, but really its just shorts that look like skirts.

If you were curious, there’s a name for those: skorts! They were very popular when I was a kid.

I love skorts omg. I haven't seen them in years.

Very common in the kids section of the store, since little girls are just as likely as any other kid to climb over and under things.
