Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

Okay, there are 3 other people in my grade/class, and we%26#039;re in 8th grade. We were talking about fertility rates in other countries, and my (female) friend says, %26quot;Why don%26#039;t they just stop having sex?!%26quot;. Then my (female) teacher said, %26quot;Well it%26#039;s easier said than done. Under developed countries don%26#039;t have good family planning systems, and don%26#039;t have centers to get educated about sexually transmitted diseases, and can%26#039;t get a hold of condoms. It%26#039;s not like here where you can go to centers and get a bunch of condoms!%26quot;

So yeah. Do you think that subject was innapropriate? This is my first year at this school, and and my other school, we%26#039;d get in trouble if we even said the word condom. So I%26#039;m not used to that. And I asked around, and they said the kids never really had %26quot;sex ed%26quot; more like health class. Obviously, us being teenagers, we know what condoms are and stuff.

So what%26#039;s your oppinion on our class today?

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

My opionion is : Anything that you can learn in school is great, Teachers get paid to teach, so %26#039;%26#039;PICK THEIR MINDS%26#039;%26#039; for any information you can and take advantage of all the knowlege you can on any subject that you choose or are offered.

Be glad that your attending a school thats open minded to the students instead of becoming a part of that 3rd world.

For an 8th grader, your question here shows that you are on your way to a good education in the near future.

Keep up the good work !

I think it%26#039;s great !

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I%26#039;m glad your teacher said something like that instead of some of the things I just thought of.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

Well it%26#039;s kind of weird, but not unheard of.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I say it is good in the sense that people will learn what safety precautions need to be taken for sex, but on the other hand bad because people will want to start experimenting.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

That was fine and your teacher gave a good response.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I think you have a good teacher...You are lucky to have someone who gives you the truth!

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

All knowledge is power. You need to know the truth about life, so no I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s innapropriate.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I dont think it is

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I think that conversation was pretty mature, considering the topic. It was probably appropriate since you happened to be talking about fertility rates.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

erm , its embarrassing if the two genders attended together !

I would have skipped that one !

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

no

because its talking about issues and awareness.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I think it was ok. How are you going to learn if you don%26#039;t ask

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I don%26#039;t think it was inappropriate. Your class was just talking about facts.

I know what you mean though...I went to a Catholic school when I was younger and saying the word %26quot;condom%26quot; probably would have equaled a trip to the principal%26#039;s office :)

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I think it would depend on what class subject you were in,like science.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

No it wasn%26#039;t inappropriate. You should be grateful to have a teacher that%26#039;s willing to talk about family planning and birth control methods. Sounds like your old school was WAY too uptight.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

well its hard to answer that question, because i mean if you dont bring it up and teach it in school kids might not ever get taught the subject, and might not know all the dangers and risks of having unprotected sex.But otherwise i would have to agree that school is a place for learning not talking any about that stuff.I mean some schools are even giving out birth control to ladies in jr. high. i mean to me that just pushing it. They should have the %26quot;talk%26quot; and leave it at that

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

There was nothing inappropriate about that in my opinion. The student asked a question that was legitimate. The teacher answered honestly. When you are discussing these types of subjects things like this are bound to come up.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

NOT inappropriate. Your teacher gave an honest and correct answer. Something like that might not be appropriate for elementary school, but in Jr. High, you%26#039;re old enough for a real answer.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

no it%26#039;s not the world has changed so much this stuff needs to be talked about when i was in 6th grade they took the girls into the girls bathroom and talked to us about our periods. my stepmom when she tried to explain what my period was she asked me do you know what a period is? and i answered yea it%26#039;s the dot at the end of a sentence. thats how much things have changed. what they are discussing is important not just for you but for you to understand the differences between cultures.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

No, not inappropriate. It is part of life, and could be part of a social studies class as well as sex ed or health. The conversation was professional and made you think.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

It sounds like the teacher was handling it very well, and it%26#039;s good that you and the other students were discussing a subject that is very important in your lives.

Do you think this is an innapropriate conversation in schoo?

I think the first answer should be a question - %26quot;Who brought up the subject in the first place and in what context?%26quot;

Your female friend asked a reasonably sensible question and in context the teacher gave an informative answer to your friend%26#039;s question.

Knowledge is power and when an open discussion can give a sensible answer to a sensible question you have a plus.

Your teacher could have gone into a whole lot of other detail - but she didn%26#039;t.

Sex / health education is a most important part of growing up and I think this kind of open discussion is OK in 8th grade.

I also think you are feeling uncomfortable because this school is more open than your other school was and this is something you are not used to. That will pass.

Don%26#039;t be scared - it is far better to be safe and have the right knowledge than to be sad and sorry.
