re: #204 DaddyG

I would not want to teach sex ed in school at all- especially Jr. High. We had lots of follow up discussions at home to reinforce our own values. I was very happy to hear my kids say Duh! Dad we already talk about this stuff, nothing they told me was new.

I was in 6th grade in 1968 (or so) and we had a male teacher, which was very unusual in elementary school back then. He decided to be the first teacher anywhere to teach sex education in a public school. I didn’t learn anything, and not because I knew anything. He stammered and sweated more than he spoke. I remember only being thoroughly amused at his discomfort, and that he drew a chicken on the blackboard.
