#2 In that case France and Amezrica have swpped places.

FRench have come a long way about showers since 1944. Hint: demographic stagnation had led to most housing being from 19th century and these had no showers: you had to go to public baths and showers.

#3 Seems to me that the real story is that the kiddies aren't taking showers after a PE game, but that they are afraid to shower in front of other kids. If true (and I have my doubts)that is an interesting twist. I would have thought they would be less shy. They don't seem to have any hesitation in stripping for sex.

#4 Reminds me of that gym teacher who wore the mirrored sunglasses. It's even more creepy in retrospect.

#5 The trailing daughters have never showered after gym. As far as I know their schools -- public, all buildings put up within the last two decades -- were built without locker rooms or showers. They've always changed for gym in the regular bathrooms. It's a budget thing, the parents were told; we could have locker rooms or classrooms, but with everyone wanting their taxes reduced, the district wasn't even going to try to ask for both. And given that for a while the levies weren't passing, so that for a number of subjects at the high school there was only the classroom set of textbooks, not one for each student to take home -- the parents weren't about to make a fuss over a bit of soap and water.
