you are kidding right. they wear body suits under their uniforms and shorts over those. they reveal much less than any girl at the pool or beach is showing. do you let your girls wear swimsuits? if you do, they show more than cheerleaders

I know, I know. But the Home Ec classes of yore (mine was in middle school) really did give some useful info. My mom didn't have a clue how to sew and I learned how to hem pants and other light sewing entirely from my Home Ec class. My highschool gave a class in childcare. We learned infant CPR and some things that are old hat to anybody with many younger sibs but were absolutely news to any only children.

"... dont you want your kids to do the right thing because they know it is right not because of some fear."

Exactly! I do not get this part either. As I posted earlier, there is a stage when kids are really small, like 1-2years old, when fear seems like a good idea to keep them from getting hurt for example. I just can't for the life of me see how it is in any way constructive to have teens behave well out of fear.

Of course they wear swimsuits, but they don't perform in them in front of hundreds of people.

ITA. It's that kind of thinking that leads to municipal curfews; I abhor those.

Oh my. Have you never seen the briefs cheerleaders wear under their skirts? They're like Fort Knox. Granny undies made out of think knit. They are sooooooooo unattractive and so not revealing.
