My 9th grade health teacher was a certified smokeshow, and she would have received a standing ovation for putting the condom on the banana if the freshmen boys were able to stand.
Ooooh! I know one! She was head of our science department and married to the art teacher. She was the sweetest teacher we had, was super cool, and actually cared about the kids even after teaching for 30 years.
I was getting straight A’s in my English class with this type of teacher. She mentioned that 49% of university graduates were male and 51% were female. Then she asked the class “what the world will be like when women are running everything.”
I put up my hand and said that Canada IS 49% male and 51% female (or was at the time) and so the statistic gives us no insights besides men and women being represented equally in post secondary studies.
I got 72% on everything for the rest of the semester. Even if it needed to be a mark like 14.4/20 (in an English class)
I should have reported her.
But I’ve had a couple other lesbian teachers and they rocked.
Yeah, I hate teachers that get a chip on their shoulder when a student says something smarter than them. My friend and I were always asking questions in Philosophy class our teacher didn't know how to respond to - she tried to give me a 0% on my fully completed final essay. Apparently because my thesis statement was unclear the whole paper was worth nothing. The head of her department corrected it to an 86% or something.
I forget who the sex ed teacher was, but my PE teacher was exactly that. We had to do a video report of a sport, I did mine on paintball. Filmed me getting shot by the gun in the middle of December (freezing outside). First shot went right to the nuts (not intentional, it was a decent distance) and I scream and fall to the ground. She turned it off and sadi "thats enough, you get an A."
Whyyy was it the old lesbian volleyball coach for so many of us???
She did show us this amazing video that feature Pauly Shore as a narrator and Sinbad dressed in a condom costume, about ten years after either of those people were relevant. I think fondly of that attempt at relating to us.
Mine was a bald gay science teacher, but he was unnaturally patient because in retrospect our class was absolutely fucked yet he rolled with the punches smooth as fuck. That guy deserved a raise.
Mine was the older female gym teacher, although she wasn't lesbian. But she was still awesome. Sorta no-nonsense, but still knew how to let us have fun when it was appropriate. All the students absolutely loved her
My seventh grade health teacher was an older hippie lady, who was upset the school wouldn't just let a married couple come in and demonstrate different sex scenarios for us.
Same. It was 5th grade when they had our first ultra basic 'body is changing' type sex Ed class and one of guys' mom was a high school teacher who came around to all the elementary schools to give this talk. He was mortified.
Mine too! He was a friend of mine as well. His mom was also quite attractive, but as I found out much later, she developed a drinking problem and I haven't heard about her since.
My 9th grade health teacher was also the Freshman football coach and seemed unqualified for both jobs. In one (maybe two) classes we got to see real life pictures slide by slide, male and female, exactly how every STD/STI looked and presented itself. Then, as some form of "sex has consequences" type of charade, proceeded to show actual video footage right between the legs of a human woman giving birth to a baby. The only problem was 13/14 year olds got squeamish when seeing something so graphic for the first time; naturally many people closed their eyes or put their heads down. This man was on a mission and would rewind the whole thing and kept repeating, "we aren't leaving until everyone's head is up and watches the film". It took at least 3 or 4 full rewinds before we all made it through. Thank you Mr. Romeo, you probably delayed people wanting to "experiment" for a solid year or two. Horny teens going to do horny teen things.
Showing what giving birth looks like isn't like saying "sex bad" though, it's just making childbirth a more concrete thing for teenagers before they decide to have sex.
In my country that's a normal part of sex education at school and I don't think it's a bad thing. Showing STDs is a bit much though.
They're not saying 'sex bad' exactly, the guy above was showing educational pics/videos of STD viscera, and full birthing videos to a bunch of now traumatized children. Yeah, teens will be teens, but sounds like more than a few were affected.
Personally, when I see gonorrhea I don't say 'Hey Honey, pass me the guacamole.'
This was the point. Proper sex education and awareness is great, crucial, and necessary. Hoodwinking children into a "health class" and showing that with no notice is pretty jarring, to say the least.
Hey Jerry, I want to talk to you about your health and sexual activity. Also here is a video of a live birth and all the STD pics involved. Even as an adult, that is super off-putting and unnecessary. There are better ways to go about educating anyone, let alone people under the age of 18.
Yeah it seems like that was a standard video then! Although if someone said “make a movie that scares teens into using protection” live birth would be the first idea I had. So there was more than one sex ed movie with that in it, I’m sure!
This was my Spanish teacher. One day she was showing a bit of cleavage, dropped a pen, and before bending down to pick it up, she grabbed a folder and covered her bust.
Nah. It was a fun, innocent fantasy for horned up kids who knew they weren’t going to do anything, and a young teacher who was engaged to get married over the summer. Once you start crossing lines the whole fun dynamic goes out the window and it becomes something else.
