Why didn't the Magic Schoolbus ever go on a field trip through the female reproductive system?? Imagine how much more we'd know about our bodies if only that crazy redheaded teacher had taken us on that journey to find out! Instead we have to rely on lame "I Got It!" videos and moms who don't know exactly how to explain it... and I know there are books but still. I could have known a lot more about my body before I was in my teens if only the Magic Schoolbus went there.
Just sayin'.

But I will say my education mostly consisted of my mom handing me a book when I was about 12.

By the time the school showed us girls the video about starting your period, I'd already started mine. It was a waste of time I could have spent playing Oregon Trail.

I'd already gotten the samples in the mail, all my friends had started, and I kept an emergency stash in my locker at school. (That my friends raided.) So I was prepared. I didn't need the magic school bus, Mom had everything under control.
It was spring break of 8th grade when I did. Mom was taking me to the doc that summer if I didn't.
I can't remember discussing it in school.
[QUOTE]Wasn't there that curly haired red-headed kid that always got anxious on field trips? I can't remember his name, but something tells me he wouldn't have done well on that trip. It's probably why it never happened.

hmmm... I liked it better when Arnold was just the weird kid, Barbie was just a doll, and the cookie monster was not an obese addict going through sugar withdrawals.
Can I have my childhood back?

[QUOTE]When I was in 6th grade, I was in the "gifted" program. And they used our social studies time for the "gifted" class. We learned history that year by going through all the different events in that song, "We didn't start the fire". We listened to it on the first day and started with Harry Truman and ended with cola wars... I was so sick of that song by the end of 6th grade.
Posted by Ember01[/QUOTE]
We used the song in a class my sophomore year the same way.
I was in 'gifted' in 4th and 5th grade, too! I used to love it. We would do brain teasers and stuff.

I got my period the first week of 6th grade. I was the first among my friends, and felt so proud. I was even regular IMMEDIATELY - I haven't missed a period since! I remember pretending to have cramps just so I could remind them that I was grown up enough to have my period, even though I didn't even have a twinge of cramps. Karma's a jerk, and about 8th grade I got cramps with a vengence and period so heavy I was completely debilitated for 2 days every month.
Life is good today.
[QUOTE]Yea Jeana it was horrible. I remember just seeing my hand being the only one and feeling my face get bright red as I slowly lowered it. Then the teachers and other girls were asking me all these questions. It was so embarrassing.

I was watching it this morning.
I found some schools did a lot better than others. When I started high school I went to school in the suburbs and they showed us how to use a condom but never got any hands on experience with them, nor did they discuss any type of birth control besides abstinence, the pill and condoms. In my second year of high school I switched to an inner city school and they went in detail about all the different methods of birth control and even had us put a condom on a woody with "drunk goggles" on to simulate how difficult it is to put one on when you're hammered. That school also had flavoured condoms and samples of lube in the school councellor's office for students to take....
