I think at the very least, within all buildings. Better for the carpets, tiles and wood too. Exceptions for shop and stuff like that, where you need proper foot wear. But maths class? Ehhhhhh....no.
I was in the Library and there was a young guy looked about 18 and he was barefoot with his shoes and socks under the table and his feet smelt a bit, but not noticable and TBH It tempted me to do it. Usually i take my shoes off but wear socks.
But it's more relaxing to have both shoes and socks off, isn't it? I tried to do it at school several times but they didn't let me. Are you always unshod in the library?
Unfortunately my kids are only allowed to take their shoes and socks off for gymnastics, silly part is they have been wearing shoes all day often in very hot weather, 60 sweaty feet pick up half the gym which goes back in their shoes after.
If you want to go barefoot in school at least once the day before find a real nasty pile of dog shit and put it in a bag. Wear old shoes you don't care about and bring the shit to school and when no one is looking drop the dog shit on the ground and step in it. Make sure it gets all in the treads and on the topside. Oh I can't wear these shoes today, look what happened they are covered in shit, I have to go barefoot all day I have no other choice now.
Well, your school might have spares, that is the problem. On a day you feel like it, step in some deep wet mud or something outside of school. Take your shoes and socks off and put it in a plastic bag and go to school. Say you can't wear them because they are all muddy. I don't know maybe it'll work.
Oh gosh now I have memories of socks and shoes drying on the school radiator and me sat barefoot in class because I loved splashing in puddles too much
Debate Topic: Students going barefoot to school as a school rule would a good idea. | Debate.org found this debate online about a barefoot rule in schools. Compelling arguments not necessarily for making bare feet mandatory, but just for encouraging it.
The only classes where adequate shoes could be needed would be shop and cooking and some science lessons. But for maths or English, class room stuff it would be unnecessary. And for sports it would help. Basketball for example would be much better barefoot with better grip and better jumping ability. Really, all a school needs to do is say "Hey, you are allowed to go barefoot in x and y situations now". A lot of kids will because it's different and new and rebellious. Then maybe they'll stick to it, personally I feel that it somebody finds something more comfortable they will not go back to their old habits. Just allowing it could see maybe 30 percent of kids barefoot.
