9th grade in the states is high school level. I mean, it's probably just body sprays, not actual cologne and perfume, and they might be self conscious about body odor being just past or still in puberty?

Kids should act like kids, perfume and cologne should be banned and confiscated in school, there's no place in children's schools for these distractions. It will hinder other kids from paying proper attention in class!

If you were to ban perfumes and colognes, would you ban scented deodorant? Out of everything students have to worry about...you think this distracts them?

This distracted me back then. This distracts me now.
Who would've guessed that people who filled everything with scented stuff in school would grow up to be adults that use scents to fix all problems?

  • Minor body odour distracting the guy next to you? Fill your body with odorant that now makes anyone in the whole room nauseate.
  • Body stinks of whatever you smoked during the break? Noone can tell if everyone's nose is blocked.
  • Chinese mousepad made out of non RoHS compliant rubber, has residual industrial volatile compounds causing nausea? Well, the room "freshner" can cause more nausea. Fill godowns with the perfume and nobody will notice the Chinese rubber.

Schools can provide free unscented deodorant

*edit why is this disliked? We provide soap for bathrooms, deodorant is soap for the armpits right? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
