Disgusted

[Pieguy]

We are currently studying reproduction in science class and I am disgusted by immature attitudes displayed by my classmates.

They are acting like 7-year-olds!

Pieguy; I wish I could give you the teacher I had in my senior year of HS. He was straight-forward, no nonsense, any question was OK with him, ect. He was well aware of the subject and to whom he taught it. He was not only a biology teacher, he was a confident to many students as well. He never made anyone feel uncomfortable about reproduction and enlightened all about how our hormones were going through changes. I would have been pleased to have him teach my kids/grandkids. Nuff said.

All too often sex is not a subject discussed by parents with offspring. As a resul there are many more pregnancies than we want in unmarried and under age women and sex problems arise between partners.

I heard of one couple that thought that the penis was to go into the belly button, and that was all stretched out from their attempts! This is not a joke, is a real case.

In my school we had a psychology class that all seniors had to take. This was on child psychology and discussed was sex in general, not the act of but sex in general. This was a most enlightning class and am sure it made a huge difference in every student.

My own mother said once that sex was a giving thing. That alone was quite a statement to make and pretty much sums it all up.

I see no problem in education in class provided it is sterile of the actual act and to the point of answering those questions that are on their minds, and let them ask them first and then provide the answer. That raport needs to be established.

Your recognition of this is a good sign of your own maturity. You are now prepared to also recognize the immaturity of adults who also act like 7-year-olds when confronted by the idea of nudism.

Regardless of one's current age, people giggle with embarassment over anything that's outside their comfort zone... and that statement is just another euphemism for "maturity."

Pieguy,

They are all over the place. I work with 3 guys on my crew that are in their mid 30's and when the topic of nudism/naturism, the nude beach or nude resorts starts up, they too act like 7 year olds.

It is truly how they mask their embarassment with the topic. It would be nice if they just admitted being embarassed and tried to learn but that's not the way many people deal with it.

Hey, this is why "The 40 Year Old Virgin" was such a brilliant movie!

It is a coincidence that you have mentioned this movie today, as Amazon.com has advertised this movie on line today, both in an "R" rated edition and an "Uncut" or "unrated" edition. About 70 reviews were included.

I dont think people should have children unless they are prepared to discuss serious matters like sex with their children because at some point its going to become necessary for them to do so if they want their kids to have an understanding of themselves and their bodies. There are plenty of resources out there even for the most ignorant people on the subject so being unknowledgeable about it is not really an excuse. Parents generally should have enough knowledge where they can answer almost any question a child poses to them.

Also as far as immature kids in class are concerned, if they cannot come into the class and get into the material with a mature attitude then theyre better off stepping outside the classroom and staying there while the subject of sex is discussed because its not fair to the other students who come there to learn and are serious about learning. Teachers are just too lazy nowadays and refuse to put their foot down and make these kids either grow up or get out. Teachers should not have to put up with childish students. Parents need to make sure their kids are mature before they send them to a public school. Immature students dont belong in a public school with other students who make an attempt to be mature and have a serious desire and urge to learn.

Rated "R"! Can't be!

I always find it interesting to look at the various regional ratings for a movie. Taking "The 40-Year Old Virgin" for example, in naughty Finland, it is rated K-11 (which I take it means anyone can go, accompanied by an adult or not, Sauna help me here!). In Canada, the rating ranges from 13+ (Quebec), 14A (Ontario and Nova Scotia, teens require adult accompaniment), to 18A (Canada's Western provinces). Most of Europe and the rest of the world rated it for teenagers. But yes, in the U.S., it was indeed rated "R".

When I went to it (in Ontario), the crowd had lots of teenagers.

Good for you

There is a time for fun and a time to be serious...Try to lead by example, but also to tolerate and perhaps join in the fun when appropriate. Nobody likes a person who is always deadly grim and serious. Its all about balance.

How about throwing in a zinger of a question or two, something that is of real interest to the whole class, something to grab their attention and focus onto the subject?

[Pieguy]

Update: They're even acting stupid over PLANT reproduction!

I agree on this point. But, I think this is a side issue.

Having done a lot of coaching for my daughters teams and various other school functions, I would say the real issue are those couples who refuse to see having kids in the first place is a commitment of decades and that they are the parents and will need to be the bad guy on occasions.

I remember that I went to summer schoool for "health" class to get it out of the way, and have room for other electives during the regular school year, most of the students were of like mind so I did not have the same experience as you did, they wanted to be there. Though I did have an experience with one student who tried to embarass me to cover his own embarassment.

The teacher was great though. He was also a psycologist, taught psycology at the highschool, had a great repore with all of his students, and no question was unanswered because of content.
