Ah yes, because if it from home they have to report it, while if it is happening at school their zero tolerance policy means they can ignore it.
- Zero tolerance for snitches punches kid
  Obligatory /J
  
  I mean, that’s not too far from the truth
What the fuck kind of school gym class doesn't have any alternative to kids taking their shirts off in class?
Even the poorest public schools have crappy colored jerseys that go over the regular gym clothes.
In the grand scheme of shit that never happened, this is near the top.
- You are not old enough to understand, me thinks.
  
  I'd hope millennial would be old enough to understand shirts vs skins.
  Age has nothing to do with how unlikely it is that a school gym class would have students take off their shirts to differentiate teams in a game.
- We definitely did shirts versus skins when I was in high school not that long... err, a few short decades ago
- Shirts vs skins was a thing when I was in school, it was kind of traumatic
- I never played it in school, but definitely at like summer camps that were less organized..
  
  Highschool in hicktown, our salty freak of a gym teacher would let girls stay inside and walk laps.
  Boys go outside to play whatever sport, or sometimes go to the tiny wrestling room for dodgeball, and it'd be shirt v skins. Usually he'd pick the fat kids to be skins cuz they needed more "motivation".
  Weird to me that people think shirts v skins is fake when there's way weirder shit schools do to kids. We had our biology teacher take the class to his barn down the road and help shear his alpacas for extra credit. Like, school staff can do whatever the hell they want, and kids will just say "okay" if they don't know any better.
  
  Exactly. Not at high school gym class.
- I did this. I went to school mid 80s to early 2000s.
  
  What?! Hahaha how many times did you get held back? 85-2005 is a really long time to be in school jkjk obviously /s
- Literally every school in the 70s and 80s. EVERY SCHOOL. That shit really did happen, because I got a F in PE over this exact issue.
  
  No idea why everyone is defending a 4chan green text with anecdotes from 30+ years ago.
  It's a green text, it's fake. That's just a general rule. But even if we pretend it's real, it's 4chan, it's being posted by a kid, probably 14-17, but no current school is going to go anywhere near that type of shit, they'd be sued immediately in this society.
- We didn't do it gym class, but we did do it during baketball practice, which was already exclusively male, and after school hours.
- We were still playing shirts vs skins basketball in middle school in the mid 90s.
Dumb question: how does shirts v skins work for girls? Did the just never pick girls for skins or did they make girls compete in a bra? Cause that sounds kinda shady...
- When I was a kid (80s-90s), we just wore a coloured pinny.
  
  By the late 90's early 00's my school started doing the same for boys.
  
  The word "pinny" pulled forth visceral memories of my middle school. Wow, impressive.
  
  Agreed, I'd never heard of going shirtless lol
  
  I'd completely forgotten about them.
  
  I remember, I remember the smell, it's in me, forever
- I'm a dude, but it was the same for the girls at my school: skins wore their shirts, and shirts wore a second communal sleeveless track shirt over their shirt. So we called it skins and shirts, but really it was shirts and double-shirts
  
  My middle school has uniforms, but HS had cheap, shitty thow-over red and blue vests for gym class.
  
  My school just had yellow jersey type things but the holes were bigger to identify a team
- From my experience in 90s gym class, the girls are taken to a separate auxiliary gym to do aerobics while the boys do team vs team games.
  
  Ok yeah that makes sense.
  
  I did a lot of weight lifting in HS because of this.
I'm sorry, wtf is "shirts vs skins"?
- One team has their shirts on, the other doesn't. Instead of color coded jeresys.
  
  Wtf are jere-...
  Yeah, ok, thanks.
I only ever played "shirts vs skins" with friends, outside of school. In school we just had light and dark shirts, and had assigned days when wore what.
- My school just had different colored vests that we put on, like mesh neon colored safety vests
