Ranting about Students: Part 5

As the weather gets warmer, my students get more and more undressed. I am looking out my office window as I type this, and I’m surprised by the states of underdress, nearing undress, that I see. There are guys without their shirts on (women couldn’t get away with that). There are girls in skirts so short I could probably see their thongs if I squinted. There are bare legs and bare toes. There are sweaty armpits and there are tattoos and piercings that are in locations rather more intimate than I expected to see. Is university really the right place for such fashions (or, rather, for such lack of fashions)? Or am I just too curmudgeonly?
