Yeah! Penis inspection day! They would make you strip down and take photos. Handle your junk and take measurements. To ensure you were growing right. Stopped around the 6th grade if I remember right. Right when we got the new nurse. Was Jerry Sandusky doing the examination for future reference? |

Anybody else remember having to strip down to their underwear and parade around the gym in a single file line to be examined by the medicos? Usually the boys went in at one time and the girls another. I only remember this for the first couple years of grade school, then evidently they stopped doing that. At any rate, I was telling a co worker about it and he didn't believe me. I still remember it seeming a little awkward. Anyone else remember having to do that in grade school? I remember some type of exams back in the mid 70's in grade school. If I remember correctly it was to see if our spine was curved and we never got naked. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is because wearing clothes for swimming is inherently stupid Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: School physicals for us were at the doctor's office. I have heard people in their 50s or older talking about having naked swimming class in high school. This is because wearing clothes for swimming is inherently stupid That's what Joe Biden tells his female Secret Service detail, too.  |

We went to the nurse's office. But all I remember them checking for was to see if our spine was straight or if we had lice. Yeah that is all I remember. Same here. Everyone knew that the kid that didn't return to class had lice. I remember this one kid who was kept behind every single time, poor kid was picked on relentlessly. I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up on the news, it wouldn't be a shock if he just snapped one day. |

Remember this same exact thing, in the gym, boys on one side, girls on the other. Took place about 1971 or 1972, in eastern Pennsylvania. |

There were several times we went through a medical screening, in every case it was for some kind of extra curricula activity, like for the baseball team or track and field. I don't remember any medical screening that wasn't connected to something like that.

In the mid-60's, I remember getting a polio vaccine at school on a sugar cube. I also received liquid fluoride treatments in a dentist chair at school in the 60's.
In the early 70's, they gave us sport physicals in the gym like the OP mentions. In the early 70's at another school, they had us all go into the gym where they had tables lined up and made everyone brush their teeth with grape flavored sandy feeling fluoride treatment which resulted in mass vomiting. In the mid to late 70's you went to your own doctor for a sports physical. |

Both of these posts... no fucking way. 
I was a very bad kid when I hit puberty. A mess. I was hell for my Mom. She took me to see a child psychologist when I was 12. I wasn't opposed to it. I knew I was being a problem. The guy was extremely creepy. And it wasn't five minutes in to talking to him that he asked me if I had hair on my "private places". What? Asked if my penis got hard. WHAT???? I was 12 years old and stood up and walked out of there and gave my Mom an earful on the way to the car about taking me to see a fucking pervert. Hair on my balls or hardons had nothing to do with the dumb shit I was doing. Fucking pedophiles can be anywhere. They should all rot in fucking hell. Quote HistoryQuoted:

First week of 8th grade in Southern California we had them. We had to go into the lunchroom, get down to our underwear then line up for a gait check and scoliosis check I believe. Maybe we had a perfunctory physical too, say ahh and all that. This was in the mid-70s.
Late 60s-Early 70s in grade school we used to get those red "disclosing tablets" and have to chew them and show the nurse our teeth. She's scold those who weren't brushing properly.
