Would you allow your daughter to attend a co educational swim class in school?
at my daughters schools from 8th -10th grade, in PE she attends the swim unit and boys and girls have it together? Why is this allowed? Wouldn't this make girls feel uncomfortable and give immature boys an opportunity to harass and humiliate girls? And cause distractions and goofing off among everyday? Not to mention young boys will be shirtless around young girls and I think that is inappropriate especially in a school setting
My daughter keeps saying she does not care but she is young and may not understand how wrong this is this just seems wrong especially at school. Giving a boys a chance to leer at girls like this
this class also pretty much just gives students to look at all the other students in bathing suits. What is this a party or something? How is this appropriate for school? Why is the school providing an avenue for voyeurism?
can people really say honestly that young boys and girls will concentrate on swimming while they are around each other in bathing suits and not goof off? That boys (who aren't known for sensitivity) won't use this opportunity to harass or tease girls?
School management should arrange different time table for boys and girls for swimming. Boys and girls can attend same class at the same time to know each other. They also can work in the same group in debate competition, in quiz games. Those things will be enough for boys and girls to know each other. There is no need to arrange swimming in the same pool at the same time.
I am shocked that SCHOOL of all places allow this. This is not like a public pool that is voluntary to go to. This is part of school curriculum and they are providing this avenue to look at bathing suit clad students to kids. This is not a public pool that is voluntary to go, this is a school of all places
this seems like a very bold thing for a school to do
whose idea were these classes? These classes only seem to benefit males and it gives them an opportunity in school to leer at their female classmates in bathing suits. Why create a class just for boys to look at girls basically? I just don't get it
I am thinking of going and asking if boys and girls can be separated or if boys can be required to wear shirts while swimming
