Sex. Fact, fiction and ALL the other lies we tell our kids

So as promised this is the update to reproduction.  In continuing with the female reproductive system, I did the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and female reproductive organs. And my my my...what lies some kids are told. The things don't even make sense. For example:

(Female student) :"Miss, is it true that when you crack your knuckles you will be barren?"

(Male student): "Miss is there a REAL safe period to have sex with a girl and she doesn't get preggo?"

(Female student): " Miss is having sex during your period wrong?"

I am glad that they asked. Separates the facts from the lies they are told. Some of the kids even looked genuinely worried. I mean when they had gotten over the fact that their teacher in their presence was using words like 'penis', vagina', 'penetration', 'intercourse' and 'ejaculation' - they had some REAL concerns. This led me to wonder how many parents even talk to their children about sex? And even if they don't do they even bother to dispel some of the rumors floating out there? That is such a real responsibility - I don't think they realize. 

On Monday we talk more about birth control and abortion. I have my own views on abortion - but I have to be careful not to impose them on the children. I have always hated that as a student. Where the teacher almost forced you to believe that the words coming out of her mouth was gospel and you couldn't think or feel anything else. So I will try my best. We're also starting reproduction in plants. LOl. I'm sure they are going to be bored out of their minds! lol lol Especially compared to the excitement of reproduction in humans.

For anyone reading out there - make sure your kids know the TRUTH about sex. Not de shit talk. 

Sex, reproduction and REAL questions...

So this week and next week I'm doing reproduction with one of my classes...and WOW you would be surprised at the questions!!! Little slackers lol lol  I'm happy though to see soooo much enthusiasm but that was expected. A topic such as the male and female reproductive systems 'inspires' them. To the good stuff:

Questions such as:

1. (Male student): "Miss is it ok to masturbate? If so, how much so?"

2. (Female student): " Miss, is it true that if you drink a hot beer you could prevent pregnancy?

3. (Male student): "Miss is it normal to have 3 testicles?"

4. (Male student): "Miss you feel condoms does really work?"

5. (Male student): "Miss, can mustard kill your sperm all now?"

Whew....lol...I laughed, coulda cried. Friday I'm continuing with the female reproductive system and birth control. Stay tuned.

Mid Terms...Red Ink...Make up tests...

I mean..really I LOVE TEACHING. But you see all the 'administrative' aspects to it? I'm beginning to hate it. Slowly and surely.

I tire of all the shit and the constant barrage of questions from some teachers that kinda act - ummm how do you say - INSIPID? lol

I imagine them reading this now and gasping in horror "Ugh! How could she?"

So my kids didn't do too bad on their mid terms - for those that did ABSOLUTELY horribly I gave them a extra credit project. I know that is not the habit- but as for me - I remembering being in school and wishing the teacher would give me another opportunity to show that I was paying attention. So the extra credit was and essay, 800 words for just 2 MARKS. lol And some of them actually did it. Hey 2 Marks makes alot of difference!

I had a thought though that our students seem to think that we live in a bottle. Like we come out the bottle, come to school and when the bell goes at 2:30pm we go back into the bottle. Why do I say this? Because they seem so shocked to see us out of school. Like OMG! Do teachers actually live somewhere???

LOL LOL LOL

Anyways later people

Remember: Anything you do do it to the glory of Almighty God.

This post is directly in connection to Max's own.
Hear that:
We had this same parent, teacher consultation thing and I took my fast self and showed the parent how much money she had spent on the child since Form One.

There was a look of growing terror on the mother's face but I kep adding and then when I did the first term and showed her that she had spent almost three thousand dollars and then the second and third terms...she was like 'TOUT LAJAN SA-LA?! N'a tiwe-ou lekol'

It was incredulous...she had never realsied that she wass spending so much money on a child who brought home, for his higheset average that year 11 percent.

The sad news is, that I have not seen this child at school. It has been three weeks and all he has are these little 'a's' by his name.

I think I may have contributed to his educational demise. His mother had promised to take him from school and have him work after I showed her how her money was being spent...

What if I sent a child to work on the banana field when he would have perhaps picked up in form three...

Ah dear reader, I don't know but I will be here blogging tomorrow for as long as tomorrows last!
