Do you agree with this schools policy?

I read a story about an elementary school in the U.K.According to the story,the school had just installed a brand new,lamninated gym floor for their school.The school didnt want the floor to be scuffed up by the treads on sneakers,and going in socks would be a sliping hazard of rhe floor;therefore,the school required the students to go in bare feet for their p e. class.The story claimed that alot of the parents objected to the policy,but I think that it actually made sense.What is your opinion?

I have just been reading some of the comments . Honestly the floor maybe dirty kids might be exposed to dirty floors or athletes foot etc . When did we start wrapping kids in cotton wool . Its not a wonder so many suffer from asthma etc . There raised in such clinical surroundings their bodies dont build an immune system . I am so glad I was allowed to play outdoors with mud etc . Nothing better than mud squishing between your toes and the freedom of being barefoot . Feeling of wet grass or baking pavements and having to wash your feet when you got home because mum complained that you werent walking in her house with filthy feet . What a great childhood we had .
