Sex-Ed (now VERY OT)

Okay, I have to reply here, as I seem to have had a different 
experience here.  What follows is a true story. ;)

Where I went to school, we started sex ed in the third grade. 
Nothing major, just "when you're older, you'll need to wear a bra" 
type stuff.  Boys were separated from girls - except for one highly 
embarrassing class where we got the technical "nobody ever remebers 
the technical name for those things" talk.  Then, believe it or not, 
we had a quiz - girls took a quiz on boys' bodies, and vice versa.

Sex ed continues - once a year for about a week - until about 9th 
grade, when they assume we know it all (and seeing as my county in 
central california had the highest teen pregnancy rate in the whole 
UNITED STATES for a few years there, we certainly knew what went 
where).

Funny story - when I was in eighth grade, we had sex-ed with the 7th 
grade science teacher... who everyone (girls, esp) thought was a 
pervert.  Well, lo and behold, one day after a particular video, he 
came up from the back of the class with his zipper down.  I kid you 
not.

Jen (whose mom died when she was 8, so she had to tell her dad she 
"started her period" by leaving him a note on the dresser telling him 
"please don't talk to me about it" and then he dropped her off in a 
kids clothing store and made the sales lady tell her it was so that 
she could get a bra.)
