in health studies

some kid in my 'health studies' class (97) put his hand up when the teacher said "who hear has never had an erection?"

why would he ask that?

Mine asked for hands up if any of the girls were still virgins. In Year 7. No-one knew what to do, so we just kept our hands down.

weird teacher. he would encourage kids to shower after pe.
I never quite figured out if he had sinister undertones or was just into helping young boys embrace puberty...

Most health/PE teachers are into embracing puberty. Or pubescents, rather.

in year 8 or 9 we were given bits of paper with diagrams of genitalia on them that we were asked to cut out. we cut them out and then the bell rang.

so we went back to the same class the next week and the teacher says "okay, everybody get out your penises and vaginas". to this day don't know if he thought he was being funny or he was just clueless.

It's true. But they're not as bad as scout leaders.
just last week at the shops there were cubs/ scouts trying to flogg off raffle tickets. The leader was calling one kid an idiot for spilling her bottle of coke and said another kids efforts in selling raffle tickets was " not good enough". stupid fucking mole, her voice was that loud all of woolworths could hear her degrade 10 year old kids. I should rings docs and report every scout leader. they're all fucking scum.

And they're always fat. But they still wear the shorts.

the textbooks were passed down at my school... nearly every yr 7 textbook would have about 8 yrs worth of dick drawings in them.

I've had to sit in on various sex ed classes. Luckily we don't teach them. It's great seeing the really unpleasant clueless boys feel really uncomfortable.

...and don't forget those fucking scout belts.

I think I have forgotten the scout belts... what were they like?

I can see the scarves and the long socks quite easily though. shudders

the buckle has a picture of the scout logo on it....

Hmmm... nah, sorry.

All I'm seeing are socks below kneecaps below thighs below shorts. It's horrendous. And hairy.

woggles!

in a grade 6 sex ed we were made to watch a video ultrasound of a baby in the womb.. its little heart was pumping through its chest, it made me feel so sick and giddy that i had to go and sit outside.. so gross.

At least you didn't have to watch a birth... I did.

Close up.

i never understood what's the deal with all the dick drawings in health textbooks. unlike your other subjects, there are already genitals pictures there! much better drawn than your scribbles. why does anyone think it necessary to add another dozen dicks?

small things amuse small minds

some aren't so small

we got bored of learning about all the health stuff, so we'd play 'guess the word' out of the dictionary instead. Mr Maloney would give us the starting letter, and read definitions of words until someone guessed the word.

i won. pretty much every time.

somehow i now suck at crosswords though.

i always got really high marks in health. i needed them to pass PE/H/PD, cos all the PE stuff i always scored really low on.

We played that dictionary game too in year six, it was grand.

I near failed PD/H/PE, because I didn't see the point in the assessments and there was no way I was running for anyone. Somehow got through on an E mark, which looked great next my kick-arse English and History marks. Especially since my PE teacher tried to give me a lecture on how my lack of application would prevent me getting a good UAI, because "English and History mean nothing if you've got a bad mark for this course!"

What a dick.

we got to drop PE at the end of yr 10.

thank fuck.

far out. i topped PE in year 9 or something - the year i took up smoking.

never even got molested.

scripture books were the best for drawing dicks on. if they didn't give out new booklets every year the pages would be almost completely black with crudely drawn genitals, all on top of each other, and every three years they would have had to switch to graffiting in liquid paper like the flipping of the poles or something.

"father abraham, had many dicks! many dicks had father abraham!"

oh man, bloody sundays.

I got to drop it end of Year 10 as well.

Made the UAI lecture all the more stupid.

knowing genital anatomy in it's minutiae is probably really good if you're thinking of going into economics or law or something.

Well, it could help you get to the top...
