AIBU to think it’s ridiculous secondary school pupils going to school in PE kit?

I can understand why they did it during Covid, and I can see why it’s more practical in primary schools, especially little kids, when they take ages to dress themselves and the schools don’t always have dedicated changing rooms. But why on earth are some secondary schools still making pupils come to school in PE kit, long after the pandemic is over?

Not being funny, but the kids who really make an effort in sports must stink for the rest of the day. Not to mention getting muddy etc. I wonder how many teenagers make less effort in games because they don’t want to be smelly for the rest of the day..?

On DH's behalf, I feel I need to emphasise that he felt that the smell by 3pm of 30 14 year old boys who had been running around in the morning was in no way improved by them all having sprayed themselves with various aerosols.

Aaah the smell of pubescent BO and so much Lynx Africa you lose all the hairs inside your nose. Such a delight! (Boys AND girls)

I think its so much better to go in PE kit. Less time wasted changing
I still remember having to take cold showers after PE, and you had to walk past a teacher out of the showers to prove you were actually wet. No soap.
