Different school districts handle sex Ed differently in what they do and don’t allowed taught. Ours is conservative. For instance in some districts kids learn how to open condom packages and put them on a “similar shaped object”. We didn’t. Our teachers wouldn’t dare discuss masturbation even if a kid had a sincere and genuine question. I honestly can’t see any teacher in their right mind discussing how to do it though.
But then again, you would think by now male teachers, coaches, administrators would know better to not get involved with female students. It’s also happened with female teachers and male students. But it happens in our district almost every other year. It’s a profession that has so many land mines you can step on either on purpose or by accident, it’s no wonder why it’s tough to get decent teachers.
