I don't think that's why. I think it's just because it's cheaper. My school had communal showers, but we didn't use them (sports teams did though). The inky ones I ever used were at Boy Scout camps. I'm pretty sure it's because it used to not be considered a big deal, and it's saves a lot of money. Honestly, I think it's an issue it has become such a big issue. Most countries aren't so uptight about nudity. It's an American thing to be scared of nudity.

That comes from puritanical notions promoted by religious folks. That's not going away in the US. It's too big a part of the culture in many places.

Given that reality, springing for shower stalls is not too expensive for Planet Fitness, so it shouldn't be for public schools.
