The kids have not complained to me about the way I smell. I still have what they sometimes misinterpret as "attitude" I guess, but the kids haven't written me up for it or anything. I recently attended an in service on how to utilize the credit recovery program online. I'm again pretty enthusiastic, but I wish I knew of more games I could actually play with the kids. They claim that my class is "boring" a lot of the time.
Kids also don't like perfumes and air fresheners like Febreeze. They could have been responding to that. Just so you know, air fresheners don't really remove odors -- they simply overpower your nose sensors temporarily so that you can't detect less powerful foul odors. Also, we habituate to a smell quickly if we are constantly exposed to it (ie. the person wearing the clothes will stop smelling the odor), but individuals who smell it and then walk away will smell it again upon secondary, third, and all subsequent reexposures. I forgot the name of this phenomenon but I learned about it years ago in physiology class. It also explains why a homeless person who hasn't bathed no longer smells their own odor.
