Can anyone explain to me why all gym teachers in the world require part of the PE uniform to be the most difficult article of clothing to find on the face of the earth...a PLAIN white T-shirt? Would there really be any harm in a white t-shirt with a non-offensive logo on it?
While I can find undershirts galore that are plain white, they are all made from this very thin almost transparent white cotton that would not keep anyone or anything warm on a cold winter morning. At least #2 has an advantage I never had, he has been given the option to wear shorts or sweat pants.
I admit, the only real memories I have of gym in school were of freezing for an hour, 7 out of 10 months of the school year. I don't remember any gym I ever had in any of the schools I went to having heat of any kind. While I am sure the locker rooms probably were heated, they sure did not seem like it!
I suspect that may be a tactic of schools to be sure the kids are awake. I can envision the teachers planning for the kids who always seem sleepy to have gym first thing in the day, just to give them a freezing wake up call. For the finishing touch they turn off the heated water and have the kids shower in an ice encased shower room.
Ah, the wonderful days of school #2 has before him.
