Yesterday in the news there was a story about a sex ed teacher who went too far. It made me remember an incident when I was in eighth grade.
We had a sex ed class. This was in the late 70's. Condoms were not even an issue. Sadly.
One thing that happened, to this day, mystifies me.
Our hip teacher who was also quite handsome. I remember he had a handlebar mustache which makes me very curious now.... anyway, during one class session, he had all of us guys (it was a boys only class and a girls only class)... he had us draw a descriptive illustration of the male sexual anatomy.
I remember very artistically sketching out a man's penis with the hair and everything. At that age, I seriously had nothing to base it on aside from this one medical text book my Mom had from her nursing class that had a very descriptive picture of a naked man and all his parts. I remember viewing that picture quite often actually.
Anyway, finished, we all passed up our papers.
AND NEVER SAW THEM AGAIN.
We never heard about it again.
We were never graded on our pictures.
We handed them into Mr. Handsome Handlebar, he put them in a file folder and that was it.
What on earth did he DO with those pictures?
