How do your children feel about gym? Also taking showers?

I don't know why students can't have shower curtains. The H.S. my step daughter attends doesn't have these. Privacy is the issue. Why are some students not participating in gym?

One semester (per 4 years of high school) of gym is required in the high schools here, so it's not an option. They have to have it to graduate. In the middle schools, one semester a year is required, so still not an option.

Tnanks for the comment. Do parents see more and more students not taking gym? Why?

I agree. I wouldn't want to take a shower in front of anyone. Our school doesn't require the students to take a shower.
