Man...y'all are about as dense as they come. I thought at least one of
your circle could figure out where posts were coming from.

The 8th grade really is too late, even back in the day.

Kids grow up faster than we did. In 1960 they couldn't even say
"pregnant" on TV. Ricky and Lucy slept in separate beds


I remember a 7th grade "health class" segregated by gender in which some
information about sex was discussed. A good number of "us guys" were
already aware of that information. In the 10th grade, we had a much more
detailed health class, not gender segregated, in which various aspects
of sexuality, birth control, and disease prevention were discussed.

I guess our school system assumed we had parents for that sort of
thing.
In high school, my "health" credit was a red cross first aid course
(9th grade) and the second year was advanced first aid, pretty much
what the firemen got. My PE credit in junior year was red cross senior
life saver and Water Safety Instructor in my senior year. (actually
taught at American University) DC only required one "health" course
but I wanted the red cross AFA ticket along with the other two.
That is the advantage of not going to a government school I guess. We
could bring in non union instructors from other places like the red
cross and get certified courses.
"Health" in the public school I went to (7th and 8th grade) was just
superficial stuff like eat your vegetables and don't smoke until you
grow up. (stunts your growth, ya know)



Your anti-union bias is laughable.

Our high school had a close affiliation with Yale University going back
many, many decades, and our classes were peppered with seminars and
lectures presented by tenured Yale faculty members. In fact, for many
years, our high school was across the street from the Yale campus. But
then Yale bought the land and the high school was demolished and then
rebuilt as a new school a few blocks away.

I remember two classes I had in particular, Russian and physics, in
which we had virtually weekly presentations by Yale faculty members to
our classes. Most of our high school's language classes had visitors
from the Yale School of Languages come in for seminars.

The problem with leaving it to the parents to teach their kids about sex
is that years of research has shown that it doesn't happen.

Too bad the other 99.99% of the schools in the country are not
affiliated with Yale and our kids get an education that puts us in the
#26 or 27 slot in world education. (in spite of spending far more than
any of them)
That union you support blindly is one thing that assures incompetent
teachers can never be fired. It is hard enough to get rid of the
drunks and the ones screwing their students in the biblical sense.
Simply screwing them academically is perfectly OK with the AFT and
NEA. Meanwhile Randi is sucking down about a half million a year plus
expenses and perks

Simpleminded nonsense.

Which part is wrong?
Are you saying there are any significant number of public high schools
affiliated with any college, much less an Ivy League school ... if
that was true in the first place.
Do you dispute our ranking in the developed world?
Do you dispute the money we spend?
Do you dispute the amount of money Randi makes?

We know, if you did it, it was "special" but you do sound like you
make **** up most of the time. Answering with your typical brain fart
is not indicative of the superior education you profess to have.

I don't buy into Fretwell's attempts to blame classroom teachers and
their unions for the ills that plague our public schools or, in fact,
Fretwell's never-ending attempts to blame "government" for everything.

My response was to his query.

Fretwell:

"That union you support blindly is one thing that assures incompetent

That's ignorant nonsense, probably caused by an overdose of silly
libertarianism.

It is certainly a big part of it. When you have a structure that is
totally vertically integrated and incompetent people are kicked
upstairs only based on time in grade, it is a problem.
Good teachers are the first to say, the union makes it impossible to
get rid of bad teachers and that pay is not based on performance,
simply on time in grade and diplomas.
