practically naked - what would you do?

[hr.jr.]

>>>If these were adults and this is what they were choosing to do- then fine. It's their choice. BUT this is a SCHOOL ACTIVITY- therefore these KIDS need to be dressed appropriately. We had plenty of carwashes when i was in high school and we never wore bikinis- we wore shorts and tshirts. A carwash is NOT a pool or beach- its a carwash! Now tell me- when you pull out your car to wash it, do you skimp down to a speedo??<<<

You took the words right out of my mouth, Sierra (well, except the part about the speedo)

And if you did decide to get down to a speedo.. would you be IN that speedo to make more money?

I do not wear a speedo to wash a car, neither do I wear one at the beach. Last time I checked, they are not in style. I wear board shorts to wash my car. I also wear board shorts at the beach. Whenever some other type bahing suit replaces board shorts as the style, I will then wear it to wash a car.

9 And thus ye shall pray, Our Father that art in heavens, hallowed be thy name;

10 thy kingdom come to; be thy will done in earth as it is in heaven ^[a];

11 give to us this day our each day's bread;

12 and forgive to us our debts, as we forgive to our debtors;

13 and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

From Wycliffe's New Testament

Christ saw it needful to show his disciples what must commonly be the matter and method of their prayer. Not that we are tied up to the use of this only, or of this always; yet, without doubt, it is very good to use it. It has much in a little; and it is used acceptably no further than it is used with understanding, and without being needlessly repeated. The petitions are six; the first three relate more expressly to God and his honour, the last three to our own concerns, both

temporal and spiritual. This prayer teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and that all other things shall be added. After the things of God's glory, kingdom, and will, we pray for the needful supports and comforts of this present life. Every word here has a lesson in it. We ask for bread; that teaches us sobriety and temperance: and we ask only for bread; not for what we do not need. We ask for our bread; that teaches us honesty and industry: we do not ask for the

bread of others, nor the bread of deceit, Pr 20:17; nor the bread of idleness, Pr 31:27, but the bread honestly gotten. We ask for our daily bread; which teaches us constantly to depend upon Divine Providence. We beg of God to give it us; not sell it us, nor lend it us, but give it. The greatest of men must be beholden to the mercy of God for their daily bread. We pray, Give it to us. This teaches us a compassion

for the poor. Also that we ought to pray with our families. We pray that God would give it us this day; which teaches us to renew the desires of our souls toward God, as the wants of our bodies are renewed. As the day comes we must pray to our heavenly Father, and reckon we could as well go a day without food, as without prayer. We are taught to hate and dread sin while we hope for mercy, to distrust ourselves, to rely on the providence and grace of God to keep us from it, to be prepared to

resist the tempter, and not to become tempters of others. Here is a promise, If you forgive, your heavenly Father will also forgive. We must forgive, as we hope to be forgiven. Those who desire to find mercy with God, must show mercy to their brethren. Christ came into the world as the great Peace-maker, not only to reconcile us to God, but one to another. (Mt 6:16-18)

Commentary on same translation.

IMO, it isn't appropriate for any woman (or man) to dress like this except in the presence of their spouse. One person may not be tempted toward sin but others are. I was always taught that "if ya got it, ya don't need to flaunt it". Pardon me for being crude.

What's wrong with wearing a t-shirt and shorts for a carwash

As others have said, I would start with prayer, speak with other parents about it and then go to the principle.

Thank you for your advice and great list of verses! I agree that we are responsible for making sure we don't cause someone to stumble by what we do, say, and even how we dress.

Glad it helped.
