Re: So Uncomfortable

Simple Answer: You don't. 

It seems that if the boys' hygiene aren't bothering the other students and aren't impairing them educationally or socially (as far as you can see), then why does matter if they have stained shirts? I know you probably have the resources to get them new shirts, but I'm not sure you want to be in charge of these kids weekly dirty laundry.  Any action short of that will result in the implication that the parents aren't keeping up their end in the battle of boyhood hygiene. And I think that prospect is what is seriously putting the chill in your bones. 

But if the boys are getting along fine (whether or not they're secretly embarrassed), then let them go along -- no need to add further insult to injury. 

The worst thing in the world for a kid is for your teacher to name you the dirty kid.
