Why do children need ,bubble baths, deodorants and perfumes to stop offensive odours?
These apparently are being given out by teachers to stop the child being ostracised and bullied for smelling.All they need is soap and water before they come to school.
I was brought up in a "poor area" parents were working class and grandad a labourer, but there was always Carbolic Soap to wash and prepare one for school.
I never had or did't need fancy smelling toiletry and certainly soap and water did the trick.

No amount of bathing will deter aromas from curry smelling clothes or oiled hair. Cultural - maybe?
When my son was a teenager he was smelly despite spending ages in the shower every morning and putting on anti-perspiration deodorant and clean clothes. He and I would have been mortified if a teacher had slipped him a can of deo.

Of course, this is different from the situation where parents can't be bothered to wash clothes or make sure their kids get in the bathroom.
Bringing race into this Tambo? Really?

For what its worth it's always white Caucasian children that I've seen that are grubby and smell.

It's just a stock photo Tambo, thought that was obvious and just in case it wasn't, it clearly tells you under the photo!
