Jim-jams a no-no for fed-up school heads

British parents have been asked to stop wearing pyjamas during their school run.

Headteachers across 11 schools in Middlesbrough are sick of mums and dads turning up in the mornings still wearing their nightwear because they think it sets a bad example to pupils.

Chris Kemp-Hall said: "We all have the opinion that appearing at school dressed in pyjamas isn't the right way to go about things.

"It's about setting an example and having self esteem."

Terri Llewellyn-Quinn - a parent who does dress herself in the mornings - said those who don't should be "ashamed of themselves".

She said: "It's absolutely ridiculous. How long does it take to throw a pair of jeans on?"
