Do You Remember Health Class?

OMG. Mr(s) Grodner.

Turn on the light, sprite and make it brite.

we had this old 80 year old guy who wore short shorts teaching health class who would start each class by putting a foot up on a desk and saying "hello class!"
he was a horrible teacher, told us the biggest consequence of drinking was getting caught by your parents, and blushed when he said the word "penis"
i learned nothing and passed with flying colors.

I only had to take 7th grade health. I remember hearing stories of the notorious bulimia video and I remember asking my teacher that day to please excuse me from watching it and he wrote me a pass and I had to sit in an empty classroom with a health book. But at least I was free from watching people throw up, I was horrified about throw up. Now I don't think I care as much

edit; now I remember we had mandatory 9th grade health too. Watching the baby born!

I remember having a few weeks of health lessons in 6th grade and then a full semester of health class in 10th grade (the only semester I didn't have to take gym). My 10th grade health teacher was a bit of a moron - he kind of skipped over a lot of the sex ed stuff he was supposed to teach and tried to relate everything back to stress and the need for self-actualization. We watched a lot of really cheesy videos, too.

Marlene, that's who my brother had for health! LMAO at the bicep-flexing comment.
(For those of you going "WTF?," Marlene goes to the same high school that I attended.)

Oh- jeez.

Anyone remember how to put a condom on using a banana or cucumber?

We also had to watch a show with a baby being born. However, it wasn't a show I had expected...it was like a cartoon!

We took a 'field trip' into the boys/girls bathroom to see and understand the difference. Someone asked for that field trip so maybe you can try it too.

We had to bring in provocative looking pictures and describe why it is bad to advertise that way and if it provokes sex. Also, we had discussions on whether to give condoms out in schools.

Our classes were really small- so I there were 8 people in my class. My teacher's father even came in one day to give a talk because he was a gynocologist.

*Sigh* The joys of high school.

Back in 5th grade we had a whole health class too but the girls and guys were seperated. But at recess, sometimes there would be some 'dirty talk.' If you were caught talking to the opposite sex about it, you didn't get recess the next day. Did the teachers honestly think that there wouldn't be any other time to talk to your friends about it?

In an ideal world, school boards would create a whole mandatory course on issues of health, sexuality and adolescence, not just stuff it all into one compulsory week per term.

My last health class of the year is tomorrow!! Yay! We started learning about drugs and that they can look like candy in 1st grade and continues on forever. They really get into more about 4th grade and the rest of the stuff is middle school. Last week I got to watch the Miracle of Life. Fun, fun. And no we don't get seperated either. The best part was the teacher is pregnant and so we got descriptions of what it felt liek for a baby to kick. LOL. I'm so happy to go back to gym though!!

In my health class we watched all these lame videos about how these teens would drink and drive. then they sent the kids to a police station and the cops are like there was a drunk driving crash that happend last night, then they listed off the names of the kids, like they were the ones who were killed. They were pretty lame. I also had health right after lunch so if anything was graphic it made me sick.

Yenta, I believe your sexy gym teacher with bulging bi-ceps was arrested a few weeks ago for soliciting an undercover police officer on Bald Hill.

Was his first name Leroy?

---

I have ahead of me nine weeks of high school health.

We'll see how it goes.

Thsose are the kind of videos we watched in driver's Ed! Oh- Lord! Anyone remember driver's ed?? Those videos were beyond morbid. Every single week we watched them! And then I had nightmares for a week and then would have to go back and watch more! *shudders at the thought!*
