guess that school doesn't teach sex ed eh?

 
Saborlas [TotalFark] 2008-03-23 08:10:41 PM  
That's an awful amount of FAIL there.

Not merely "questions questions." Nope, apparently some kid is such a douchenozzle that he taped a substitute teacher ignoring the boring material and talking about the most exciting topic there is to someone about to hit puberty.

If there's a more irritating person than the goodie-little-two-shoes who narcs on a sub trying to make class INTERESTING for one day, I've never encountered them. I advocate his precious camera being used for amateur colonoscopy. Take a wild guess at the patient's identity.

The Spencer paper reported that the tape contains the voice of woman alleged to be the teacher responding to a question about the color of pubic hair: "Usually it's dark, but there are some that are red or blond."

The same voice is heard saying that condoms could be bought at rest area bathrooms, adding, "Rubber deteriorates over a period of time, so don't get one until you need one."


This is all good information. I'd be happy that my kid was getting a useful edumacation for my tax dollar.

My students tried that on me once, only in a math class. I told them that if they had questions about those things, they should discuss them with a parent, a school counselor or nurse, and that we had geometry to work on.

...and now, a principal says that's the thing to do. I don't believe an administrator would ever advocate the course of action I took in the classroom. The all hated me.

Should have told them to go ask the 8th grader out in the far corner of the schoolyard.

Only in the farktarded country of America would people be pissed about something like this. Seriously, if you would bother to teach kids a proper sex education, they wouldn't be so curious, and wouldn't be knocking each other up constantly.

That day's topic was supposed to be the AIDS problem in Africa. But the instruction eventually devolved into Beilstein fielding questions about sex.

I can actually see how that'd very quickly turn into a discussion about sex actually, considering they were discussing AIDS. But she probably should have skipped a pubic hair question.

 
babysealclubber 2008-03-23 10:45:28 PM  
My sex-ed teacher was giving us a talk about condoms and how they could fail. She added, "Of course, you could always double up, but why would anyone do that?"

God I loved that course.

I'm often accused of being a prude, but geesh. The kids found somebody who would actually answer their questions, and people are "outraged." bfhd

As a natural blonde, I had other girls in the locker room give me a hard time because of my body hair color, so I asked in sex ed if it was normal to have blonde pubic hair if you're a light blonde. Half the class laughed at me, but at least I didn't feel like a freak any more. Physically, any way.

Don't they have access to the internet? I used the internet, pre-Google, to learn about all that stuff. Oddly enough, Jenna Jameson was the first pornstar I watched (Jenna is Pure). Not sure what Jenna has to do with the topic, but meh...

Would like to point out that as a Christian, I think I've said that statement more than a hundred times this year.

Bravo. Would like to point out some of us are not anally retentive morons. We actually have a brain.

/Best friend is a member of the Lavayan Church (Frmr. Church of Satan) and one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Personal statement: Every religion has retards, even the atheists. Also, why are all the atheists on Fark more fire-and-brimstone than the faith-based ones? Anyone answer that one for me, please?

(Not catching the humor here is not my fault.)

 
CurlyGirly 2008-03-23 10:49:03 PM  
So let me get this straight. We can talk about sex in sitcoms, sell magazines with "sex" written on the cover at the grocery store, but we can't answer kids' valid questions about the subject? I'm sure some of these students were just trying to avoid social studies class that day, but unless the teacher was going into personal details of her sexual past, then she should be praised for addressing these students' concerns. They obviously aren't getting the information they need from their parents or teachers, you know, the people are supposed to be educating our kids.

That's weird. We had an entire Q&A session in 5th grade during sex ed for this sort of thing.

Most profitable bit of the course IMHO, and I didn't even care for the course in general. I mean, I'm all for sex ed, I just *personally* found it a waste of time for me at that time in my life.

Dude! You live in Clearwater, FL, for crying out loud! Who are you to call someone an idiot? Lots of people in lots of countries would be piassed about this. Of course, they're all asshats, but that doesn't mean America has the monopoly of idiot parents. Think what Abdoul Bin Farkwizzie of Killastan would do to a teacher that told his daughter about jilling off.

Sounds to me like a teacher was giving reasonable answers to reasonable questions. Ask the counselor? Or the nurse? Schools still have nurses? I think the kids felt safe with this teacher and started asking some good questions.

I know what would happen over across the bay in Clearwater, Bubba. The teacher would be arrested for assaulting the precious little snowflakes ears, and she'd be off to jail.

Idiot parents know no nationality, race or creed.

Can't you just picture some of these parents asking "What do AIDS and sex have to do with each other?!"

 
moothemagiccow 2008-03-23 10:53:24 PM  
I thought about doing this back when I was unemployed. They will pretty much accept anyone with a degree into the sub program (apart from child molesters or ex-cons), give you no worthwhile training, and when you get to the school (was a high school) you're pretty much baby sitting 16 year olds (which sucks) since the teachers think teaching 19th century US history is too complicated for you.

Add that up with the fact that I know a lot of shiat now I'd like to have known when I was 16 and you've got a good recipe for enlightenment.

Roane Superintendent Steve Goffreda said Beilstein won't be teaching at the school while the investigation is underway and probably would never again substitute for a sixth grade class there.

That's right. Move him to the seventh grade and the parents will be much more reasonable.

You're exactly right, as is the person in the article who said the kids set up this poor sub. Their regular teacher was probably out on stress leave.

It's a wonder districts can find anyone willing to teach middle or high school when anything you say or do in the classroom can be taken out of context and posted on YouTube.

It's sad how this constitutes a news story... people who want children to be ignorant about sex are just idiots. If we applied abstinence-only education to say, car safety, we'd tell kids the only way to avoid dying in a car wreck was to never get in a car... then be shocked when they eventually have to drive and have no clue how to do so safely. But seriously, you see abstinence-only stuff that's like "Have sex before marriage? I'd only do that if I wanted to die!"

I remember it happening. I also have a mental image of this redhead in my class standing under the shower burned forever into my memory. We kind of blinked at each other for about five seconds (uhhh, hi?) then went about our business.

This was a favorite game of my 7th grade class. They would ask random sex questions during Math in an attempt to get the class to crack up. A few months ago one student asked if it burns when you get chili-pumped. After two detentions, the game mercifully stopped.

/I didn't know what it meant either

One day, we had a discussion in class. They asked me, where did they go? The trees, the salamander, the tropical fish, Edgar, the poppas and mommas, Matthew and Tony, where did they go? And I said, I don't know, I don't know. And they said, who knows? and I said, nobody knows. And they said, is death that which gives meaning to life? And I said no, life is that which gives meaning to life. Then they said, but isn't death, considered as a fundamental datum, the means by which the taken-for-granted mundanity of the everyday may be transcended in the direction of -
I said, yes, maybe.
They said, we don't like it.
I said, that's sound.
They said, it's a bloody shame!
I said, it is.
They said, will you make love now with Helen (our teaching assistant) so that we can see how it is done? We know you like Helen.
I do like Helen but I said that I would not.
We've heard so much about it, they said, but we've never seen it.
I said I would be fired and that it was never, or almost never, done as a demonstration. Helen looked out the window.
They said, please, please make love with Helen, we require an assertion of value, we are frightened.

I said that they shouldn't be frightened (although I am often frightened) and that there was value everywhere. Helen came and embraced me. I kissed her a few times on the brow. We held each other. The children were excited. Then there was a knock on the door, I opened the door, and the new gerbil walked in. The children cheered wildly.
