It used to be mandatory. I know some older people who were disgusted when they found out kids no longer washed after PE, "they go around all stinking and sweaty? What's wrong with them?"

Some things about P.E. never change. But as the 1996 fall semester unfolds in Orange County, it is clear one thing has: Few students shower at school now.
Not after P.E. Not after a two-hour round of competitive basketball. Not after a stinky, sweaty football game.
"I can't remember the last time I saw a kid take a shower," says Dan Miller, veteran athletic director at Anaheim High School, which more than 2,000 students attend.
Eyes bulge at the mere mention of showering around other students, which was common — mandatory even — in middle schools and high schools across the country just a decade or two ago.
"In all the years I've played football, I've never seen anyone shower in the locker room," said Joe Eason, an 18-year-old football player at Pahokee High in northern Palm Beach County.
In high school/middle school, no. Only at the rec in college where there are private stalls.
With sex preditor teachers and tiny cameras these days, it's not smart to shower in a place like the picture in the OP. I mean I have Gigabytes of video featuring showers just like that one...

At our school it's enough to look at the showers to catch something contagious so no thanks, I think using a towel, wet wipes and deodrant are way more healthy than stepping into some fungus.
