It wasn't in the DC or the Md curriculum unless you are talking about a making you wear a jock to keep your nuts "safe". We had to learn the old fashioned way, trial and error or just by meeting an older woman. 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) |
