Importantly, our teachers did <B>not</B> watch us shower - they stood a couple of feet down the corridor, within earshot of problems (including being able to distinguish voices and stop any teasing), but not actually witnessing us. Ditto in the changeroom - we knew they were nearby, and could probably hear us, but they were not watching. After all other sports lessons, showers were available, but the choice was ours (most people skipped them after gym class, and were straight in there after muddy lacrosse matches for example).<br /><br />So, my shower experience at school - surrounded by my peers with no compulsory exposure to anyone at all - differs drastically from a teacher - person in position of authority who you're meant to be able to trust - strip searching me. I think I'd bring charges too, as someone said, in any other context, this would be clearly seen as a sex crime.Pombatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-34145875030281062032009-04-24T09:39:00.000-07:002009-04-24T09:39:00.000-07:00Girls are little different than boys, especially i...Girls are little different than boys, especially in the early teen years. The embarrassment over your body changing and the like are serious. It is a critical period for a young women, as has been point out above.<br /><br />I agree with LTG.

Boys at that age already know to look resolutely at the floor or at soap, just as we do when at a phalanx of urinals. It was considered somewhat girlish (hence: unthinkably awful) for teenage boy to be afraid to shower after gym class. We, however, were not required to do so. I suspect that in the 1950s and 1960s, when the male justices were in school, they were required to shower in groups like this. I think some may have gone to all-boys schools (which is another issue). <br /><br />If I found out someone at school did this to my daughter, I would immediately file accusations of sexual molestation against that person. You took off my daughter's clothes and she came home crying, what else am I to think? Those charges can really stick and would be a deterrent to the next person.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-6559541681880570372009-04-23T13:49:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:49:00.000-07:00There is also a big difference between gym room pr...There is also a big difference between gym room pranks by your peers and being forced to take your clothes off by someone in a position of authority in front of some else in a position of authority.<br /><br />In fact, when I was in highschool, no one ever took a shower after gym. No one was forced to. Getting naked in front of class mates?<br /><br />My sisters, however, who were in high school in the 1960's talk about being forced to do "check ups" at school and to remove clothing for such things and being forced to shower after gym. I thought we got more enlightened about these things later on!<br /><br />In any other setting this would be considered a sex crime.USwestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-40067919797724237782009-04-21T15:07:00.000-07:002009-04-21T15:07:00.000-07:00Huh?

There are people out there who will strip search *children* at *school*?!!!<br /><br />In my brief time as a teacher, the things that were held up as number one priorities were that we were in loco parentis, i.e. acting as (good) parents whilst the child was in our care, and that we were *not* allowed to touch kids (not even to comfort ones who came to us with problems, which really sucked - can't risk getting sued for inappropriate contact though, since you're tried in the media first and it destroys your life even if you're subsequently found innocent).Pombatnoreply@blogger.com
