First, the discussion starts with how they were educated about sex when they were young, and the frightening gaps in information given teenagers at the time, and talk about how the gaps seem to be wider with today’s educational models.
They mention the “Midwest Teen Sex Show” series on YouTube, an educational series aimed at teens, that pulls no punches with questions or answers, and talk about the dangerous increase in incidences of STD’s amongst teens these days.
The teachers also talk about how much education about sex can and should be taught in school, as well as how badly education about sexually transmitted diseases need to be directly taught to kids to help them protect their health and their lives.
The discussion continues on with how to talk sex education with developmentally impaired students, and other students in special ed who still need to learn about the subject, and the problems facing teachers in helping students from many walks of life and family backgrounds.
