In France, even in the 80's and 90's, rectal temperature was still very common for children and teenagers.

I had the measles when I was almost 11 years old. The doctor was my father's girlfriend (my parents had divorced recently) who worked as a school doctor. She did not live with us. She came to the house and took my temperature rectally several times a day. Unlike Jean the frenchie, I found it very embarrassing, especially because my sister could pass by the door and see me lying on my bed on my tummy or on the side with the thermometer in my bottom.

my mom would take rectal and usually leave the door open, and my younger sister would come by and try to sneak a peek

The free clinic for youngsters living in financially disadvantaged households where I work has limited space and only uses glass thermometers. Temps are taken in area of the waiting room dedicated for that purpose.
