    Ah yes, because if it from home they have to report it, while if it is happening at school their zero tolerance policy means they can ignore it.

    What the fuck kind of school gym class doesn’t have any alternative to kids taking their shirts off in class?

    Even the poorest public schools have crappy colored jerseys that go over the regular gym clothes.

    In the grand scheme of shit that never happened, this is near the top.

        Highschool in hicktown, our salty freak of a gym teacher would let girls stay inside and walk laps.

        Boys go outside to play whatever sport, or sometimes go to the tiny wrestling room for dodgeball, and it’d be shirt v skins. Usually he’d pick the fat kids to be skins cuz they needed more “motivation”.

        Weird to me that people think shirts v skins is fake when there’s way weirder shit schools do to kids. We had our biology teacher take the class to his barn down the road and help shear his alpacas for extra credit. Like, school staff can do whatever the hell they want, and kids will just say “okay” if they don’t know any better.

          I transferred from a middle school in a different county and showering was required at their junior high. Compulsory fully nude showers seems kinda weird looking back Not that long ago either, pretty sure it was well after that was a common practice.

            There were showers in the locker rooms when I was in school, but the ordinary gym classes never used them. (Maybe the sports teams did?) I think I would rather have dropped out than showered naked in school.

          Meh, we played shirt vs skins in summer when it was getting hot outside. They had sashes but people just wanted to be a bit cooler.

            We played shirts vs skins in the middle and high school gym. If we had sashes I never seen them.

            One of many reasons I didn’t dress out and got suspended every 3 days for 3 days until the principal figured out it was happening.

            God I hated my gym teacher.

      We didn’t do it gym class, but we did do it during baketball practice, which was already exclusively male, and after school hours.

      Literally every school in the 70s and 80s. EVERY SCHOOL. That shit really did happen, because I got a F in PE over this exact issue.

        No idea why everyone is defending a 4chan green text with anecdotes from 30+ years ago.

        It’s a green text, it’s fake. That’s just a general rule. But even if we pretend it’s real, it’s 4chan, it’s being posted by a kid, probably 14-17, but no current school is going to go anywhere near that type of shit, they’d be sued immediately in this society.

    Dumb question: how does shirts v skins work for girls? Did the just never pick girls for skins or did they make girls compete in a bra? Cause that sounds kinda shady…

      My school just had different colored vests that we put on, like mesh neon colored safety vests
