Dylan had only been in Primary 3 for a week or so before his teacher asked him to change into his PE gear in front of his class.

Gillian said that her son didn't feel comfortable undressing in front of his teacher - a man he had only known for a few days.

Gillian said that her son is now at the age where he has become aware of his body and his right to privacy.

The Glasgow mum explained how her son was shaken up by the experience and told her about it when he arrived home that day.

A spokeswoman from Glasgow City Council said that they were aware of Ms Lamarra’s query and are confident that it was "resolved quickly after it was raised.".

However, Gillian said that situation has only been resolved for her son who is allowed to wear his PE gear to school.

“It appears that Education have no intention of moving on this as it has been their policy for years," a spokesperson for Humza Yousaf told Gillian after she approached the politician.

Now Gillian worries that other kids might not feel comfortable standing up to teachers and has called for a change to schools outdated policies.

It's a temporary solution and not a long-term fix.

"It's a temporary solution and not a long-term fix," she told the Sun Online.

"Because of Covid a lot of schools in Glasgow are allowing kids to wear their PE kits.

"It's nothing to do with respecting the children.

"Just because Dylan has a voice doesn't mean the rest of the kids have a voice.

"I want a policy change for all schools."

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “Not all infants begin school with the same set of skills and in some cases may need some additional help from a teacher in a number of situations and this includes changing for PE.

“Throughout last year, children came to school wearing PE kit on their gym days.

"Some schools have continued this practice and this school are happy to continue this if parents wish.
