Both my grandsons resisted showering every day when they were about 10-11. Although they tried every excuse in the book, they never used the “feel like” one. Remember my son used to tell me that the “mature” eighth and ninth grade males loved to strut around naked in the locker room showing their stuff and would laugh at the “less mature” kids who would always leave their underwear on the entire time. Big difference between how males and females look at this issue when they are teens, based on their level of physical development and whether they are jocks or not.
I am a retired elementary public school teacher.
After 30+ years in the business, I can honestly tell you what a complete sham the whole system is. Who owns our children? The parents or the state? This is at the heart of the matter.
There should be Separation of School and State (there is an organization with this name).
There should be NO mandatory PUBLIC showering, no mandatory gym class, no mandatory public schools.
Public schools are delivery modules for communists and other tyrants to brainwash our children and drive a wedge between children and their parents, and to destroy parental and religious values being inculcated in the home.....replaced by the all-knowing State.
When I began my public school career, the Ass’t Superintendent actually printed out weekly bulletins that teachers would have to read and keep in a notebook, to be turned in at the end of the year. Guess what? Every weekly bulletin had printed at the top, a BIBLE VERSE!
Now look at what we are discussing regarding public schools. See how far we have fallen? The Commies have done a good job accomplishing their goals.
Currently we are discussing this because the Tyrants in Charge have decided to use this particular topic as one of many topics designed to DISTRACT the masses from realizing that their freedom and their country has been stolen, and replaced by Communist Dictators.
Look for more of these “distracting” strategies as we move closer to the “election”.
