Intake Meeting at School
By WhoDaMan
 
Chapter 1
 
Prestridge Academy and Preparatory School is an elite High School and College Prep School in Virginia. It has a history of students that graduate and go on to Ivy League and other highly regarded colleges. People start applying to enroll their students while they are still in Elementary School. A family's history, pedigree, interaction with the school, enrollment and how well they worked on the things suggested to them in pre-enrollment interviews are all taken into account when evaluating students and their families for inclusion in the Prestridge family. The school is so sought after, that they are known to everyone as 'Prestige' Academy. Many alumni go on to work in the surrounding communities of Washington DC, Maryland, you get the idea.
 
Emily and Joseph are twins. They have gotten along well all their lives, but they are both very book smart and socially awkward. They are very shy and don't participate in very many extracurricular activities. They both had mixed feelings about enrolling at Prestridge. They knew it would be a huge boost to their academic and employment careers, but they also heard the rumors of the 'class' system at the school (Upper Class, Middle Class, Lower Class) and they heard rumors of embarrass things students are sometimes forced to do at the school. Their parents insisted they stop listening to rumors and accept the fact that they had been enrolled at the school and accepted. All that was left was their intake interview. The parents warned them that if they got themselves kicked out of Prestridge, that they would pay their own way through college. They were also encouraged to start deciding what extracurricular activities they would be participating in, as all students were instructed to work on their college entrance resume. Top ranked colleges looked at grades as well, but participation in activities, politics, and community also played a big roll.
 
Prestridge had a very heavy emphasis on diversity and gender equality. It wasn't so much gender equality as it was feminist encouragement. They and specifically their administrator, Ms. Angela Thompson, were pushing to try to equal out the numbers of women in high ranking positions in companies, political office, and in public administration. All students and teachers would attend a Diversity and Gender Equality Assembly where they would watch a video presentation and listen to a speech on promoting STEM to minorities and females and addressing social justice issues like equal pay and diversity in promotions. No longer was it enough to look for the most qualified candidates, but attention needed to be given to inclusiveness. It was explained that teacher were given flexibility in their teaching syllabus to allow for opportunities that arise to allow students to engage even further if it could foster a deeper interest in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). There was also leeway provided for teaching methods as long as they followed the schools by-laws and handbooks.
 
The coming week would be the scheduled intake interviews. Because they were siblings, Emily and Joseph would do their intake together. This saved the school from having to go over the same information for the parents for each sibling. Mom and Dad were required to attend the intake interview. They all knew this years in advance. It was specifically spelled out in the application the parents submitted 4 years ago.
 
The day arrived for their intake interview. Their interview was at 1:15, right after lunch break. The Martin's filed into the office and took seats in the chairs in the waiting area. Ms. Thompson walked in at 1:05 and was happy to see that the Martins were there early. One of her mottoes was 'If you are not 5 minutes early, you in fact are late!'. She headed into her office. At precisely 1:15 she buzzed the secretary to show the Martins in. Margret walked over and asked the family to follow her. She led them into the Administrator's Office which was very large. There were 2 very nice Victorian chairs in front of her desk and 4 more modest seats along the wall to the side of her desk.
 
“Please, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, if you will have a seat here” and she pointed to the 2 seats in front of her desk. “Children” she said as she motioned for them to take a seat along the wall. Joseph sat in the chair closest to the door, Emily skipped a seat and sat in the 2nd chair from the wall. Ms. Thompson motioned for Emily to sit next to her brother. “I hope sitting next to others isn't going to be a problem?” Mrs. Thompson spoke up “I'm sure it was just force of habit. Emily?” Emily moved over next to her brother. She tilted her head down and pushed her glasses up.
 
“Well, one of the first things we need to do is work on Emily's appearance and confidence. We will look at fitting her with contacts and she can spend some time with our female empowerment coach.” Ms. Thompson continued “We need all our young women to exude confidence and be prepared to stake their claim in the world.”
 
“And our young men?” replied Mrs. Martin, surprised by Ms. Thompson's words for her daughter.
 
“Well, our young men have advantages and privileges that our young ladies don't. Their success is almost built into the system. They are more aggressive than girls are, They are stronger physically than girls are, they get more attention from the teachers than the girls do, they get more support for their sports activities than girls do. It's stacked in their favor. That's why we have special classes on gender equality and we constantly work to prepare our young ladies to compete and succeed in this 'man's world'”.
 
Mrs. Martin was incensed. She believed in equality but this didn't sound like equality. “So do you have any information to substantiate these claims? It sounds like a way to advance the girls at the expense of the boys. How can you say that the teachers favor the boys when all but the PE teacher are women? And just because people prefer to watch more boys sports than girl's sports isn't the boys fault, its just people expressing their preference.”
 
“Well, Mrs. Martin, if your having second thoughts about enrolling your children here, its not too late to change your mind. I assure you we have a long waiting list of applicants. We will be fine.” Ms. Thompson replied.
 
“Oh, no, no” Mrs. Martin backtracked. “I just want my son to get the best education he can. Both my kids.”
 
“I assure you, all the girls AND boys at Prestridge get the best education possible... Now, shall we proceed with the intake process”
 
“I see you signed the acknowledgments that you read the by-laws and the parent-student handbook. Did you have any questions about either?”
 
“Well, actually there are a few things. I saw where you give the teachers a lot of latitude to change the curriculum. Can you explain that a little more?” asked Mrs. Martin.
 
“Well, at times our teachers may be teaching topic that hits one of our areas of emphasis and if it seems like the students are really engaging in the topic, the teacher can request to add extra material, discussion time, in or out of school special projects and even request to extend the time covering the topic in class. All decisions will be evaluated and acted on by the administration.”
 
“Well, that sounds unique and very forward thinking” replied Mrs. Martin. Ms. Thompson smiled. It was the first positive step in the discussion so far. Mrs. Martin continued “so, I saw that it stated that in the biology and anatomy curriculum there may be some nudity involved 'for the purpose of education'. Can you give us more details?”
 
“Well, yes, it has proven to be more effective to allow the students to observe things they are learning about in person. It may be a little shocking, but it has the effect of taking some of the stigma out of these things. Also, some of the printed material is dated and underwhelming. We have gotten great feedback from our approach and we haven't had any of the side effects of other programs that are, I'm sorry to say, lacking. We have no teen pregnancies at our school. We do STD testing during our intake and annual physicals and have had no outbreaks, period. Plus, leveling the playing field in this area can give the girls a level of confidence that you will notice in your daughter that you never saw before.”
 
“Well, OK. But it also says the students may experience being nude in some situations. I have to be honest, that concerns me.”
 
“Well, I can assure you, we do everything in our power to foster learning while protecting modesty and integrity. Your daughter, well your kids have nothing to be worried about. Our goal is to grow them and prepare them, not harm them.”
 
“And this section on discipline?” asked Mrs. Martin.
 
“Well, like it says, our students are expected to be on their best behavior. If they are not, there are consequences. Those consequences vary depending on the infraction. We skip the verbal warning here. The discipline is a measured response to correct the behavior and hopefully the student will not repeat the actions that got him in trouble.” replied Ms. Thompson.
 
“You mean them?” interjected Mrs. Martin.  “I'm sorry?” questioned Ms. Thompson. “You said got 'him' in trouble, didn't you mean to say them? You know, boys AND girls?” “Yes, of course. How silly of me. Our discipline is meant to improve both boys and girls.”
 
“Well, I have no more questions. Honey?” Mrs. Martin asked her husband. “I'm good” was his response. Truth be told, he felt the money this school was costing him was a waste. They could have gotten into quite a few really good private schools for a lot less.
 
“Well then, if there are no more questions, I will leave you in the hands of Ms. Madison. She will take you on a quick tour while I get ready for my next intake. Thank you and I look forward to a wonderful and educational year.” With that Ms. Thompson shook their hands and guided them back to the waiting room where Ms. Madison was waiting to take them on their tour.

Campus Tour

Chapter 2
 
Ms. Madison introduced herself to the Martins and guided them to the door. “So, we are in the administrative offices. Any visitors tot he campus must come check in here before going anywhere else on campus. Likewise, any child leaving school early will check out here before being allowed to leave. We like to know who is and is not on our campus, you know, safety and security.”
 
“So we will walk down this way” she ushered them down the hallway past rows of classes on each side. This hallway is where we do most of our math and science classes. They contain most of the high tech equipment we have and we like to keep a close eye on it.” She showed them the chemistry lab, the physical science class, the biology class, physics class. Next was the math classes and then the robotics lab. The last set of rooms on that hallway were the computer classrooms complete with computers, a projector, a smart board and more.
 
“So, if you will follow me upstairs”. When they reached the top of the stairs she turned them back down the hall opposite the floor below. “This floor is our Language Arts wing. English classes, foreign languages. We have a Spanish classroom, a French classroom, Latin, and here is our multi-lingual room. Students can enroll in self-paced classes in other languages like Japanese, Chinese, German and more. The class is proctored by a Language Arts teacher at all times to make sure the students are working. This last classroom is our distance education room. We can setup for special projects in here and broadcast as well as receive a broadcast from just about anywhere in the world!” The Martins were impressed.
 
They continued down the hall and past the set of stairs that would have taken them to tho administrative offices. Ms. Madison continued listing off rooms, Home Economics, Typing, History, and more. At the end of the hall was the classroom on Gender Equity and Diversity. That one still left a bad feeling for Mrs. Martin. There was a set of double doors at the end of the hall. They did not enter. “Whats through there” asked Mrs. Martin. “Oh, that's the girls lockers. No boys allowed in there. They headed down the stairs instead. They came out on the first floor at the end of the hall. Ms. Madison pointed and continued “There are a few more classes here and then administrative offices. We'll go this way.”
 
Ms Madison went through the double doors which were directly one floor below the double doors for the girls locker room on the second floor. As they entered, there were benches down the middle of sets of lockers. Mrs. Martin looked over her shoulder at the doors and then back at the room. “If someone opened the doors while boys were in here changing, you would be able to see everything from the hallway!” She announced in shock. “Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. The boys all pile in at once and typically everyone else has somewhere else to be. Besides, who wants to watch a bunch of filthy boys in a smelly locker room, right?” replied Ms. Madison. She continued to cut off the conversation “So here is the emergency and fire exits. These stairs come down from upstairs so the girls can escape as well.” Emily giggled. “There is one at each end of the locker room so no one can get trapped. Over here are the boys showers and urinals.” Emily giggled again. “And these are the boys toilets.”
 
She pointed at a large window “That is the coaches offices.” Then she pushed open some more doors and they entered the gym. Mrs. Thompson noticed there was only one set of coaches offices, not a separate one for female coaches and one for male coaches. “So do all the coaches use the same office?” she asked. “Why, yes of course. How else would they coordinate their schedules and discuss coaching issues?” Ms Madison replied showing a little surprise at the question. “Well, I just noticed that you can see into the boys locker room, their showers, and the urinals from the window.” “Well, that's to make sure there is no rough housing going on. Sometimes boys like to horse around or harass a freshman or something. The coaches can put a stop to it quickly.” Mrs. Martin just shook her head. “Who monitors the girls locker room?” Emily got a concerned look on her face. “No, No, we don't have those kind of problems with the girls. There is no observation window for their lockers.” They continued across the gym and went through another set of doors and found themselves outside.
 
“Here we have a full size football and soccer field surrounded by a collegiate grade track. Over there is the actual track and field area for those activities. If you will follow me, we will check out the swimming pool.” Ms Madison opened another set of doors and they entered the natatorium. It had an huge pool with a platform in the center that split it into 2 Olympic size pools. To their right was a set of doors that were propped open. Those doors led into the boys locker rooms. There were people swimming in the pool at the far end. “Oh, I think the swim team is having a practice this afternoon. Not to worry. We'll just go up to the balcony and cross there so we don't interrupt them.”
 
She led them up a set of stairs and they came out on the top of the viewing balcony. It had rows of seats and a platform to setup a camera on. They made their way to the far end of the pool. Ms Madison drew their attention to the doors on the opposite side of the pool. “There in the center is the coaches offices, and there to the right are the girls lockers.” Suddenly they heard a gasp. Everyone looked at Emily and then in the direction she was looking. Down on the deck there were boys in and out of the pool. They all appeared to be naked. “What!” Mrs. Martin blurted out. “Well, the boys typically practice au natural. That way they don't have to launder their suits constantly. Not that there's much to launder with those little speedos they wear.” She giggled. “You make the boys swim nude? And with girls around?” Mrs. Martin was visibly upset. Joseph had considered going out for the swim team. He was having second thoughts about it now.
 
“Oh, they are not required to swim nude, well, unless they forget their suit. No, they choose to practice that way mostly when they are alone, so they don't have to deal with swim suits. They see each other naked in the locker room anyway when they change, and everyone is required to take a shower before swimming. That's why I didn't want to bother them. Some of them are shy and some are not so shy, so we staff members typically just take this short cut to avoid getting in the way.”
 
“So do they swim nude with the girls?” Mrs. Martin Asked. “Well, I don't think so. I haven't really paid attention. I know it doesn't require it in the handbook. I'll ask, but I don't think so.” Ms. Madison replied. She led them down the stairs and to an exit door. They all took another look at the naked boys as they rounder the corner to go outside. Now they were just 30 or 40 feet from them. Mrs. Martin reached over and gently smacked her daughter on the back of the head as Emily was once again giggling.
 
They found themselves on the track. They walked back towards the gym. “That building at the far end of the field at the other end of the main building is the band hall and upstairs are the art rooms. We have run out of time on the tour. We need to head back for my next appointment.” She led them back to the administrative offices where she had them sign out and gave them another packet of information. “Thank you folks and see you soon.” Ms. Madison finished. There was already another family in the waiting room and Ms. Thompson's door was closed. Mrs. Martin had wanted to ask a few more questions in light of the observations on the tour. Mr. Martin pushed them all out the door and out to their car. On the drive home, Mrs. Martin asked the kids what they thought. Emily was excited and looking forward to starting classes. Joseph was more concerned. “It sounds like us guys are going to have a more difficult time.” “what do you mean?” Emily interjected. “Well, it sounds like we are going to be embarrassed for some of our classes and if we get into trouble. Well, and during PE and during swimming. I don't think I will be joining the swim team.” Emily elbowed him in the ribs, “Oh, come on. It's no big deal. That probably never happens.” She didn't want to risk not going to school at Prestridge. “Maybe Emily can go here and I can go to public school” he suggested.
 
“We paid a lot of enrollment fees, first months tuition, and we ordered your uniforms. You will be going here” his father instructed. “But, Da...” Joseph started to complain. “No Buts. That's the end of that” His dad insisted.
 
They drove home in silence. When they got home, both kids went to their rooms. They laid on their beds thinking about the days events and what the future at Prestridge held.
 
Emily was smiling. This was going to be her year. She would work on her appearance. She got to see naked boys! And it sounds like she will get to see more! She was excited alright.
 
Joseph, not so much. He was shy. He didn't even like the idea of changing in front of others, even if they were boys. And he sure didn't like men and women coaches watching them change and shower. And he couldn't get the idea out of his head that if he swam, he would be not only naked, but out where anyone could see.
 
“Honey, are you sure this is going to be alright? I have some concerns” Mrs. Martin said to her husband. “Look, it sounds like this school will bring Emily out of her shell and give her confidence. It's got the best academic record, period. And Joseph, well, he may do some growing up pretty quickly. I think the idea of the school will keep him out of trouble, and you know this school gives him a huge advantage with college and a career.”
 
“You're right” and with that Mrs. Martin gave her husband a kiss. She opened the packet and started going through the paperwork. School supply list, class schedules, a map of the campus, a phone list, a card with information for accessing the schools server to see their kids progress, homework, grades, and special announcements, and a card for each student for their online access. Oh, and a physical form. Physicals by grade level, freshman tomorrow, 10 am in the gym. One side of the form had “Female Physical” on the top, the other side of the form was labeled “Male Physical”. The male physical had many more items than the female physical. Both sides had the typical blanks. Health history, height, weight, blood pressure, temperature, percentage body fat, resting heart rate, active heart rate. Tanner Stage? The Female Physical side had questions about periods: when was your 1st, most recent, how many days do they last, how many this last year, longest time between periods? The Male Physical side asked if the boys had two testicles and have you had any swelling or masses in your testicles? And one noticeable difference in the inspection section, under the heading 'Genitalia' it says 'Males Only'. Mrs. Martin raised her eyebrow and then put the form away and sat back for the rest of the ride home, wondering what was going to happen tomorrow that a volunteer might enjoy.
 
“Honey, I can't miss work for this, you will need to take them” said Mr. Martin. Mrs. Martin responded “No problem. At least I won't be board, it says here they would be asking for volunteers to help out.”

Chapter 3
 
After the Martins left, Ms. Thompson came out of her office. “Ms. Madison, why were you late getting back from that last tour?” She looked sternly at Ms. Madison who had that guilty look on her face and dropped her head a little. “You cannot keep adding the route through the swimming pool to the tour. It puts you too far from the building. It adds 5 or 10 minutes to the tour. And its not like you will miss out. You know we will get to that once school starts.” “Yes ma-am” Ms. Madison replied. “It's just been a long summer break. I won't do it again.” Ms. Thompson was of course referring to peeking in on the boys swim team, who were doing their practice in the nude. Not that they needed to be nude, just that this was a practice on their own, no instructor and no female teammates, so they decided to do it nude. It was common for boys to do that from time to time to eliminate having to deal with wet swimming trunks. Besides, they knew they didn't have anything to hide. “Well, here's your next group, the Fosters”. With that, Ms. Thompson went back into her office to prep for the next family.
 
The following day all the freshman were getting physicals. They were all supposed to report to the school gym by 10:00 am. Mrs. Martin had already decided to volunteer since she had to take her twins Emily and Joseph to the school and then pick them up a few hours later. The Martins (minus Dad, who had to leave for work earlier) sat down for breakfast. “Mom, I'm really not feeling good about this school. Can't I just go to Rockport High? Most of my friends go there, it's a good school. I'll even do sports like you want.” “Joseph, we already told you, we have spent a bunch of money on fees and registration plus your first semester's tuition. We have been planning for this since you were in third grade. You will go to Prestridge and you will like it!” she said emphatically. “But ...” Joseph started to say. “No Buts. I hear any more buts and your butts going to get involved!” she interrupted.
 
Joseph stopped. He hadn't been spanked in years but he did not want to restart that trend. Spankings were done in the living room in front of whoever happened to be there at the time, and always on the bare butt. He was the last one to get spanked like that. It happened when he was in sixth grade. He hadn't been spanked in a year and a half up to that point. Frankly, he and his sister had thought that practice had ended since it had been so long. He was at school, a kid was bullying another kid in the boys locker room. Joseph stepped in to stop it. The bully hit Joseph in the side of the face with a mostly closed fist. Joseph swung back and connected with the bully's nose. Just as the coach stepped into the locker room to see what the noise was about, he saw Johnny's nose burst into red and Johnny into crying. The coach grabbed Joseph by the arm and dragged him to the office in his underwear. Joseph tried to explain and so did the kid that was being bullied. It didn't matter. The rule was if you get into a fight, you get the 'Board of Education'.
 
The 'Board of Education'. A piece of 1x4 with a handle and laminated with its namesake on the paddle. Joseph got 6 swats in the hallway outside the main office between classes. He was still in his underwear. He was so embarrassed. He would never intervene again! Of course a call was made to his house to inform them of the fighting and that the school was administering the punishment. Of course the Martins had rules too. If you get in trouble at school, you get in trouble at home also. Unfortunately, Emily witnessed Joseph getting his swats at school. She and her friends were whispering and giggling. All her friends knew the rules at the Martin house. When they were younger, she would invite them over whenever Joseph got into trouble. Punishment was always done before dinner. They offender had to endure sitting through dinner still dressed, or undressed as it were, as they were for their punishment. Emily invited most of her friends over to study after school. They knew they wouldn't get much studying done. They would be chatting in anticipation of getting to see a classmate, a boy, naked. One of their classmates was a girl that lived across the street. She had witnessed most of Joseph's spankings. She even kept a chart showing his sexual development on it. She sometimes brought it over to Emily's and mad sure he saw it. It was accurate or scientific or anything. Just meant to embarrass him and allow her to gloat along with Emily.
 
Punishment time came, and Joseph, like a prisoner walking to the gallows, came out of his room naked. The girls were all in the hallway waiting. They followed him down to the living room. His mother gave him a speech about fighting and punishment which served to prolonged his embarrassment. He then leaned over and grabbed the arm of the couch and his father administered the 6 swats to match the 6 he got at home. He was allowed to go to the bathroom and put a damp towel on his butt and upper thighs to ease the pain which he had to do with the door open. Then it was dinner time. Most of the girls went home. Two of them stayed for dinner. When someone got punished naked, they had to sit at the breakfast counter on a stool so they couldn't hide their “embarrassment” under the table. Their neighbor and Emily's closest friend Amanda. They sat on each side of Joseph and spent all of dinner stealing glances at his exposure. Once he was finished, he asked to be excused. “Put your dishes up first, then you can go” his mother replied. Joseph quickly rinsed his dishes and put them in the dishwasher. He then hurried up the stairs to his room, and closed the door. He got dressed and didn't come down the rest of the evening. His mom came up to talk to him, but he was not in the mood and almost got into trouble again. “Its not right! I tried to stop a kid from being picked on and this is what I get! I will never stop a bully again. I'll just watch and cheer like everyone else!” His mother was enraged. “You encourage bullying and you will get it double what happened here tonight! I should take you downstairs and give you another round!” Joseph wisely did not say another word. His mother waited then left the room.
 
That was the last time he got into trouble and the last time he was embarrassed and exposed to a bunch of girls. He did not want a repeat of that, so he stopped arguing with his mother about Prestridge. They ate their cereal. Emily and her mom had a chirpy little chit chat while Joseph ate in silence, not thrilled about his new school. 9:15 rolled around. “OK, kids. Let's go. I want to be there a little early to sign up to help out. Maybe we can get this done quickly and get back home. I have so much to do today” Mrs. Martin instructed. They cleaned up real quick. Mrs. Thompson grabbed the packet they had been given and they all piled into the car. It was a short drive to the school. They arrived 15 minutes early. They walked into the gym. There was a teacher there asking the students if they had their health form. If they did not, she wrote their name down and gave them another. She instructed them to go to their prospective locker rooms. Mrs. Thompson pulled the to forms out of her packet and gave one to each of the kids. Joseph and Emily headed to their prospective locker rooms.
 
Once they entered, they found the benches lined with clip boards and pens. The girls were instructed to put any sweaters, jackets, and any personal items in a locker. Then they were to grab a clip board and sit in the bleachers on the north end of the gym. They were to fill in any items left on their forms that was not done at home. Apparently many of them did not fill out any pertinent info at home. Once their name was called, they were to report to the sign in desk. The boys have a more intrusive physical. They were given additional instructions. They were told to put all their clothes except their underwear in the locker with any personal items they brought and sit in the bleachers on the south end of the gym where they will finish filling out the forms and wait their turn. Joseph turned a bit red. Some from anger and some from embarrassment. Little did they know that the girls did not have the same instructions. The girls complied with their instructions and started filing out and into the north bleachers.
 
Eventually, the boys had to comply and started filing out into the south bleachers. The bleachers were only pulled out on 1 side of the gym, so the section they were sitting in was right next to the section the girls were already sitting in. The boys sat as close to the far edge as possible to be as far away from the girls as possible. They girls were a little shocked but grinning and giggling when they saw the boys come out in only their underwear. They started scooting towards the middle of the bleachers to get a better view and to harass the boys. Ms. Thompson sees this every year. She stepped over to the bleachers. “Now girls, how are we supposed to tell everyone that girls mature faster than boys if you act like this? Now stop teasing the boys, fill out your paperwork. Any more shenanigans and you will do your physical in your underwear as well!” A hush came over the group. They went back to their paperwork.
 
In the mean time, Mrs. Martin had asked if they still needed volunteers. “Well, most of the people who wanted to volunteer sign up yesterday. I suppose we could use some help near the medical area. You would just be kind of like a runner or a fill in. We have a few of our home economics students helping there, but you could work with them. Maybe you could even help keep them organized. They tend to get distracted, you know, being so close to the action and all.” “So close to the action?” She inquired. “Oh, you'll see. Head over there” and she pointed to the temporary curtain that was put up separating the doctors from the rest of the gym. Mrs. Martin walked over and in through the slight opening on one end of the medical area. It was set up as one big exam area. “Oh my!” she said out loud. One of the other moms spoke to her. “Everything alright? I'm Sadie, Sadie Johnson.” she offered her hand. Mrs. Martin shook her hand and replied “Well, I figured this was going to be a thorough physical”. “Well, it is” Sadie replied. “But you have all the exam tables right next to each other” Mrs. Martin said, questioningly. “Well, it's more efficient that way. We don't have to do a lot of walking to get from one area to the other.” “But don't the boys have to remove their underwear to do their physical?” Mrs. Martin asked. “Uh Huh” Sadie replied with a grin on her face, “Of course. But its nothing we haven't all seen and its no big deal. Most of these girls have babysat for other families and they've seen boy parts before. Besides, girls mature faster than boys and these boys will just barely be starting puberty. Little boys, well you know.” Mrs. Martin shook her head. “So, what about the other grades. Do they do it different?” Sadie answered again “Well, no, they get used to it. Again, its no big deal. Might even be a little educational for some of the kids.” “You mean some of the girls” Mrs. Martin responded, evidencing that she found it a little unfair for the boys. Sadie grinned again and nodded her head.
 
Mrs. Martin went over to the desk. A woman was seated there. “Hi, I'm Mrs. Martin. They said to come over here to help. Maybe help keep the floaters organized.” “Oh, that's great” replied the woman. “Sometimes we have trouble keeping them on task. They get a little distracted with all the penises running around. You know what I mean.” “Well, actually, we are new here and I haven't volunteered here before. What do mean with all the penises running around?” she said with a little shocked look on her face. “Well, the boys physicals are a little more exposing, so, well, the girls can't help but check them out. We have three doctors who rotate from the girls side then to the boys side, and then back. So we have anywhere from three to six naked boys in here at a time. Occasionally we get a girl that doesn't know how to do a self breast exam, so they have to show her, but we take steps to keep her from being on display.” Mrs. Martin was definitely shocked. She looked up and down the medical area. There were 3 seats on each side. Probably for the next kids in line. Then there were 3 exam tables on each side, for the student being examined. There were two scales in the center, facing opposite directions. Well, she thought, this is going to be different! On the two tables were folders with student's names on them. The folders were laying one on top of the other so that the names were visible. Ms. Thompson stepped in to the medical area. “So let's get started! Shall we.”
