  • I taught Key Stage 2 (aged 7-11) in the UK for 25 years and had to teach sex education to the older 2 year groups. Of course I hated teaching it. It was always a little bit awkward and I just knew that the sharper kids connected the dots in their heads and realised that almost every adult, including their teachers, has had sex at some point.

    It was about puberty and body changes for the 9-10 year olds and sexual intercourse for the 10-11 year olds. Prior to the lessons, we held a meeting for parents, to prepare them for any questions that they may get as a consequence of the lessons.

    I did things, such as have an anonymous question box that I would answer at the end of the day. Although it was anonymous, I could still tell the kids’ handwriting on the question slips of paper, but I didn’t let on. It was pretty clear to see who had older siblings, as those were much more clued in. Some of the questions I didn’t answer. If it was prying or graphic, I wouldn’t answer and I would say, “I have one final question, but it’s best for the child to ask their parents about it.”

    I don’t miss it! (Teaching sex education, not the actual sex!)

    I agree. I think it’s just that the plastic surgery is enough for most people. As you intimated, once you get past that, the real horror show begins. How she immediately belittled Igor when their talking heads segment ended in a disagreement was as telling as Amanda’s “Relax!” and probably the tip of the iceberg.
