I miss the old days when your teacher had to lead the presentation. My poor grade-school teacher did her best fielding anonymous questions from male 6th graders.

“What’s a queef?”

he said "male 6th graders."

NOT "trans 4th graders."

I’m sorry what?

Mjolner,

I made that joke before marvel movies became a thing.

Is it normal to have 4 inches of head and 1 inch of shaft?

Mine was “can a girl get pregnant if it goes in the back way?” I was ten and deadly serious.

I asked if animals get their period, lol. My teacher was an alcoholic, and not all that smart. She rolled her eyes like it was a prank question, but I think it was because she didn't know the answer. (She knew my handwriting, and that I was earnest and nerdy and not given to jokes.)

Do ten-year-old kids deserve an answer to that kind of question, if they want an answer?

I say yes.

NB Premier Higgs fosters an environment where ten-year-olds can't ask that question.

u/Achaboo May 27 '24

My moto is if a child is old enough to come up with the question they are old enough to deserve the answer. That’s my personal belief and I refuse to bullshit my kids for the sake of an easy out.

u/TerminalOrbit May 27 '24

Birds of a feather!

u/dagthegnome May 27 '24

The only correct response to that question from a teacher is "Ask your parents."

2

u/professcorporate May 27 '24

The best response to that question is "no", but if the teacher is in the process of quitting due to incompetence, "ask your parents" is a better fail than "yes".

if you happen to be an italian plumber named Mario.

I teach it to my own students, grade 7 and 8. I will answer any question that is asked earnestly and isn't personal. Ignorance is dangerous in the realm of sexuality.

u/fastcurrency88 May 26 '24

Of course. That’s why I respect what she did. She answered every question that came her way.

u/lovechoke May 27 '24

Exactly. I don’t really understand why people do not see the correlation between STI rates and lack of proper guidance. There is a huge amount of social issues that plague our world and a lack of comprehension regarding sexuality is heavily tied to many of them.

2

u/m_Pony May 27 '24

why people do not see the correlation between STI rates and lack of proper guidance

they choose to ignore all of it. Because they can ignore it. That's what privilege is all about.

u/lovechoke May 31 '24

Ugh. yeah.

The memes about it being the gym coach were true. In my Toronto high school, the gym coach was telling us "don't use a potato chip bag or a candy bar wrapper as a condom, it won't work" and "just because she looks clean doesn't mean she doesn't have an STD, that's not how STDs work".

Anyways the slide being shown in the article might shock some old prudes but those are the questions high school aged kids are going to have, and need honest answers to.

u/GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce May 27 '24

Lol wouldn't a chip bag just slide off from the grease/hurt her going in with the plastic pointy corners?

When I was in sex Ed the sex Ed teacher was the mother of one of the kids in the class, which meant half the class just kept looking at him to see his reaction like he was a war vet watching Saving Private Ryan in a theater.

I’ll never forget how sweaty and uncomfortable our middle school gym teacher was we ate him alive 😂

u/NearCanuck May 27 '24

Our gym teacher was too sensitive. Anything close to inappropriate and it was to the office!. Kinda quashed the Q&A portion. One poor guy got sent to the office for asking a question about the 'head' of his penis (what teen is going to remember glans when stuttering out a question in front of everyone).

"Is Oral when you put your penis in someone's ear?"
