I'm sure we all remember having to take "Human Growth and Development" when we were in school and let me let you in on a little secret, things haven't changed. Students are still expected to learn about the changes they will experience and the oh-so-uncomfortable section of learning about the opposite sex, heaven forbid. I am not responsible for teaching this but I am responsible for making sure one of the students I tutor gets his homework done...
After shuffling through this student's homework I came across a definition page that he insisted was completed but was obviously not. After a little bit of arguing back and forth he agreed to finish the definitions. They were on female reproductive parts... This student proceeded to mention he was on "utter-us" and "wom", aka uterus and womb. I had no idea what he was talking about but once it dawned on me I couldn't help cracking up! I guess that's what happens when you go to an all boys school and don't have any sisters. And in all honesty I would rather see this innocence than have him know too much before his time.
