I would separate the guys and girls into different rooms because we learned about male and female parts in the same room and it was super awkward. Also, we should learn about orientation at school. - cp1213 For my school, sex-ed was a one-day special presentation. There just wasn’t enough time to cover everything; that would be the biggest thing I change. I would also like to see sex-ed be alternated between people of different orientations; or have special lessons from people of different orientations so we can get a variety of perspectives. - Ris My experience was obviously absolute rubbish so I’d change the entire thing, mainly starting with having more classes on it! There definitely needs to be information for identities outside of heterosexual as well, and if it was possible to have asexuality at least mentioned in schools I think it would save a lot of people a lot of time. (All those wasted years of my life I spent trying to fit in with the straights!!) - Anonymous Well I would take my middle School (specifically eighth grade in this case) experience and make that the base standard for all people across all schools and countries. But then I would up the teaching about sexuality (and the two types of orientations they relate to it) and gender (in fact just teach about gender starting in kindergarten and give kids room to figure it out, while we’re at it). (CW: sexual violence) Then I would definitely add a full curriculum about consent, sexual harassment and sexual assault in order to make sure we stop amplifying r*pe culture. - Anonymous
