Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I did have to tell a Year 5 lad not to hit his upstanding member with a brick once. I'm sorry but I have to ask . Why did he want to hit it with a brick in the first place? (Was he between a brick and a hard place?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Why did he want to hit it with a brick in the first place? (Was he between a brick and a hard place?) No! We were discussing anatomy and blood flow and what happens when all the blood goes to one particular part of a man's anatomy (I am trying my best not to be modded here) He decided that the quickest way to relieve himself of such a protuberance would be to hit it hard, with a brick. he then went on to mime hitting himself with a brick. Half the boys nearly fell off their chairs in hysterics. Sometimes it was very difficult to keep a straight face in the Sex Ed sessions.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Teaching biology my favourite question ever was 'Do sperm tickle?' If only . Just remembered a conversation with a 13 yr old in my (special needs)class (nearly typed "neds" ). He was adament that boys got periods too. When I eventually persuaded him that they didn't, and that I did know my facts, he said "well, boys get bad moods too".

Looney Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 This thread has really made me laugh I got pregnant by falling over....you have to be so careful nowadays Some classic advice passed down the generations to me includes: "Next time it sticks out, fold it over at the end and you'll have no further problems" (Advice given to my Gran by her mother ) and "If it gets in your way, chop it off" (Pearls of wisdom provided by my other Great-Gran) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I was teaching sex and relationships ed to a year 7 class and one of the boys asked if it was correct that people could be born being both a man and a woman. I started to reply that occasionally people can be born having both male and female reproductive organs when I was interrupted by a boy who said, 'Yeah, they're called rastaferians.' I had a lot of explaning to do after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenanne Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Not sure that you can get pregnant through your tummy button, becuase if you unscrew your tummy button then your bum falls off. Apparantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I once tried to explain to my own mother (the world is illogical at times isn't it?) about the xx and xy chromosomes making babies girls or boys... I thought it was pretty easy, I kept it simple... 'the egg is x, and whether the man brings an x or a y chromosome, the baby will be a girl or a boy'... well she just stared at me blankly and said 'I don't understand a word of what you are talking about, that's much too complicated'... Having read this thread, maybe I should have started by explaining about eggs... maybe she's still wondering what men have to do to chickens for women to get pregnant...

bronze Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I've had to explain the chromosones thing to people on various occasions. Don't even get me started on dominant genetics in eye colours. It seems so simple to me I find it hard that people don't know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Me too, Bron! I love teaching this stuff, there's a logic to it that feels good. But it throws up some awkward moments. Especially when a kid asks how their little brother can have brown eyes when both Mum and Dad have blue.... Gulp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 oh don't I knod of understand it because of course the recessive dominant geen thing is very simplified and I know it envolves there being more than one gene contributuing and the amount each does so makes variables. Explaining it though is another matter. I would have just said sometimes genes mutate and maybe yours did which why you have blue eyes (or check out the much maligned milkman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
