Last Tuesday, Caleb's class had their first school swimming lesson. As the children would proceed to the Clementi swimming complex immediately after Science lessons, they were instructed to change into their swimwear during their lunch break and return to the classroom for Science.
When Caleb's form teacher entered the classroom, he spotted a girl clad in her bikini. Probably surprised or feeling awkward, he asked her whether she would like to put on her T-shirt. And she replied that it was not necessary.
Fortunately, the girl is only in Primary 3 and not older. Otherwise, the form teacher would have felt embarrassed (or distracted) while he was teaching! And not forgetting that there are many boys in the class too. Their male hormones would be raging and jumping all over.
I think the school should specify the types of acceptable swimwear that students can wear for their swimming lessons as a swimwear which may be acceptable to one may be totally unacceptable or inappropriate to another. Besides, we, parents, should always teach and encourage our children (especially our daughters) to dress modestly and appropriately.
