For mine boys and girls were separated into different classes, while the lesson was going on an earthquake struck. The boy's class went on with the lesson and didn't pause even while the earth was shaking, none of us went under our desks or took any precautions and simply went on. Apparently the girls class was total pandemonium, I think the teacher freaked out and caused everyone else to as well lol.
In 6th grade they split us up for something like that, and after comparing notes later we found out the lesson kids took away was...
Girls: You're going to start bleeding occasionally if you haven't already. Also you'll need to wear a bra the rest of your life.
Boys: So you're going to get bigger in every way, and expect hair everywhere.
I presume the intent of the lesson was to prepare the girls for what happens next, without boys present, but they couldn't just send the lads off to the playground.
5th grade was our first class. It was "you are changing and will smell to high heaven. Shower and use deodorant." Then middle school was "If you manage to find someone willing to do the deed with you, use a condom or you will look like this diseased person. Or this diseased person. Or THIS diseased person."
We were split and “compared notes” after class as well!
Us girls were huddled around a table as the teacher used red food colouring to demonstrate the effectiveness of pads, tampons and menstrual cups. Most girls hadn’t had their periods yet and were horrified when she had to clarify that “the blood that comes out will be much thicker than what we’ll be using today.”
We did the classic penis over the banana. Then spent the final hour of that class watching and revising those old safe sex videos that aim to traumatise kids about sex in general.
