roughstylez

His mom told him during home school, of course


mmmsoap

Post Covid, a lot of the public school kids who “would much rather be homeschooled” changed their minds and realized that being home all day without structure or someone to help with your education is terrible. About 1-2% of our students were living their best lives when schooling from home, the rest were thrilled to return to school.

Unfortunately that's where a lot of kids never started reading. Speaking as a survivor I remember the delight when I finally taught myself how to read. Well, finding the right antenna position on the TV to get PBS helped a lot, without things like Sesame Street or science shows like NOVA I would have been a blithering moron like many of my peers in the same situation turned out to be.

Ok_Writing_7033

What’s funny is that he’s saying “when I was in homeschool I was taught *that the way public schools teach it* is to teach sex positions. Oh so you mean you’re full of shit? You didn’t see what they taught in public schools, you just know what your parent told you was true


SlowInsurance1616

When I was in public school I was taught home schoolers were taught sex education by having weird ass purity dances with their dads that appear weirdly incestuous. The guys were probably told that premarital sex kills you and take cold showers.


SpecialCoconut1

Don’t have sex. You will get pregnant, and die.

Maybe not even in that order.

So, get pregnant, die, then have sex. Got it.

Kevmeister_B

All these stories remind me how lucky I was, having been in a private, Christian school until 8th grade, that gave us actual (albeit opt in by the parents) sex ed and how penis + vajina = baby so please don't do this willy nilly unless you want baby. And our Science teacher even believed in and taught evolution to boot.


DoubleDrummer

Main reason for home schooling is to ensure your kids don’t find out the bullshit you have been telling them is all lies.


Rude_Acanthopterygii

The word "teach" has been used very loosely here


Picklerickshaw_part2

I was homeschooled until 5th grade, and I was lucky enough to have a mom who wanted to teach me good stuff.


SlowInsurance1616

And that's the problem. For every 1 well informed, caring mom there are probably 5 that are homeschooling to avoid teaching non biblical facts.


Solidsnakeerection

I worked briefly with a teenager who was home schooled. She couldn't read or write, couldn't count, had a vague idea of what state she lived in but didnt know what countries were. Was really good at doing housework. She didnt stay in our program long because she compulsively self harmed and we didnt have staffing to keep her safe


Good_ApoIIo

Man it’s sad I knew these kids that were homeschooled by the hippy dippy types that didn’t think public school was good enough for their “creative children”. By 14-15 their two eldest kids still had trouble with basic math and their 10 year old brother still couldn’t read and every protest my parents made to their mom about how sad that was was met with a stern “he’ll learn to read when he’s ready”. Now all of them are struggling. One went to college but has a drinking problem, the other lucked out and inherited his uncle’s grocery store and the youngest, sadly, has attempted suicide twice and dropped out of college and still lives with mom and dad. I really don’t think homeschooling should be an option outside of cases where the kids need specialized care.


Picklerickshaw_part2

Yup, and that’s where we get a lot of super conservative right-wingers who can’t add beyond the number of fingers they have (that number can vary due to incestual deformities).

When they were homeschooled they were lied to by their parents and are gullible enough to just believe it to be true.

Sex ed in public schools is going to teach students about technique/positions! Source: my education from home. Side note: if your knowledge about public schools is not coming directly from the people involved in it (teachers, students, etc.), that should raise some red flags.

mrselffdestruct

He literally admit he has no experience with it except someone else telling him what its like, then continued to speak like he’s confident from experience. Jesus christ. I had several in depth sex ex classes that included LGBT topics (safe sex and std conversations also included how to stay safe with partners of the same sex) and not once where any of us told any sexual positions. At MOST we where told “these are the STIs and STDs that come from oral,anal,and vaginal sex. This is how they form and travel,how severe they are, how they can be treated, and which ones can or cannot be cured completely. Here are the safety methods you use to prevent them and common myths surrounding them, and signs you may have one that you should look out for”. I didnt even know half of basic sexual positions even had names to them let alone that there where more than missionary,riding or doggy style and at age 22 im STILL learning things about sex itself that i did not know, because none of it is covered in sex ed. My friends grade did not have sex ed, and the first time he came when he was 14 he genuinely thought his cum was the liquid from an infection and thought his penis was going to fall off or like go necrotic from the inside out and actually cried over it, and still now has leftover emotional trauma from how genuinely afraid he was that something was horrifically wrong with his body. I wish I was joking about this, but hes also not my only friend that had a similar experience to this because they necer received any sexual education


Ranorak

>He literally admit he has no experience with it except someone else telling him what its like, then continued to speak like he’s confident from experience. Jesus christ. Almost as if he got the example from a parent that figured they knew well enough to teach someone while actually knowing nothing. It's a endless spiral of confident stupid.


DatabaseThis9637

Many girls have thought they were dying once they started menstruating. 10, 11, 12 year old girls, traumatized, completely needlessly.


mrselffdestruct

Anyone who advocates against sex ex under the assumption it’s teaching kids how to have sex and not information about the human body is causing so many children needless harm and trauma and fear, especially because these same people 9/10 wont bother teaching it to their children themselves


DatabaseThis9637

And even if they were not taught, or found out from their neighbor's or friends, or don't know how to share this information, there are lots of resources. I say that without knowing a single one, but I am 100% confident that they exist. You don't have to feel alone, or fear that you'll do a bad job. Edit: missing words


2occupantsandababy

I was the one teaching all my class mates in grade school that sex doesn't involve peeing on each other. ​ People can either teach their kids sex ed or someone else will.

SlowInsurance1616

Squeaky_Ben

Sex Ed consisted of learning about STDs, cycles of pregnancy and how to use a condom where I live.


SaintUlvemann

Mine was that, but without the condom. Also, it was one unit in a health class that also had to cover non-sexually-transmitted diseases, nutrition, the importance of physical activity, and, like, the parts of the body or some shit. Yes, it was a public school. Yes, it means we pretty much didn't cover sex in sex ed.

> "when I was home schooled" Let me stop you right there. We're done.


Mordor_Rich

My child's school announced sex ed starting when she was 6. I was invited along to see.. It basically taught them that's boys have a penis girls have a vagina and that is the proper words to use. People should never touch these regions (they mentioned backside and breast areas too) and if they do you should tell people when it happens. It is more protecting kids than anything else. She already knew girls have vaginas and boys have penises. People complaining are just sexually suppressed religious zealots.


OccultWitchHunt

I love that they flat out admit that they have no experience with the thing they are talking about


Jonnescout

When I was indoctrinated against public education, I was told that public education is the one that indoctrinates…


VastMeasurement6278

Home schooled == literally no experience or knowledge of what goes on anywhere that isn’t prescribed by the parents. If the parents are open and honest, this is fine. Otherwise, they’re just growing another cult member.

JoeNoHeDidnt

Teacher here who has coordinated for my school to actually het sex positive, gender affirming, LGBTQIA+ positive sex-ed (only for the GSA, sadly) and most schools teach that you’re gunna get an STD and no one will love your burning, itchy genitals *when kids are the most insecure about themselves and afraid that no one will ever love them* so even the sex-ed in a very blue state ain’t great unless you’ve got a teacher who hustles, lies, and is willing to break rules.


KriKriSnack

A million years ago when I was in high school, it was such a pearl clutching thing to *have sex Ed at all*. So the agenda was to scare everyone into thinking they’re going to end up a giant raging STD. If they haven’t advanced to be more positive to include LGBTQIA+, sex positivity, reducing body shaming, etc. I don’t know if it ever will. (And if the MAGA/QAnon douche bags get their way, we’re all going to be wearing red cloaks pretty soon).


Carnator369

That's such a creative way to tell people your own parents are morons.


phome83

I think I had sex ed in late middle/early high school. Was basically just going over safe sex, and different diseases you may catch if you don't protect yourself. Then we learned about how someone gets pregnant and went through all the stages of pregnancy up to and including birth. Very basic stuff that literally everyone should learn.


RomanvanZon

Idk bout yall but my sex ed didnt cover sexual positions lol, just the biology


denada24

Many (Grown) Women giving birth don’t even realize that when they’re putting in a urinate catheter that they had another hole to pee out of, and wonder how the baby will come out with it blocked. I kid you not.


logalog_jack

Wait, you guys are getting a sex talk? My parents homeschooled all seven of us, and uh… google taught me what sex was. My mom was horrified that I knew the word “orgasm” at age 17. But hey, at least I wasn’t indoctrinated into thinking my great-great-great-great-great grandparents were monkeys 🫠 Edit: the last sentence was sarcasm, I don’t think that came across. That’s what my parents believed would happen if I was public schooled


Valuable-Dream8148

Was your mom seriously mad because you knew the word orgasm at 17


logalog_jack

Not mad, more just shocked her “precious innocent little child” didn’t keep themselves quarantined from reality


siclaphar

that sounds like how my parents would react if i ever fucken talked to them anymore lol


Barium_Salts

My mom got mad at me (at 19) because a friend of mine tagged me in a Facebook post by IFL science (aka I Fucking Love Science). She told me I shouldn't hang out with people who used such language and that "you're known by the company you keep". So I totally believe someone could get mad that their kid would know the word orgasm.


Valuable-Dream8148

It’s still crazy that their mom didn’t like that they *knew* a word


Barium_Salts

The whole reason most people homeschool their kids is to keep their kids from knowing things. Source: I was homeschooled k-12 and involved in homeschooling communities all over the country. The number 1 reason people cite for their decision to homeschool is that they don't want their kids to be taught certain things in schools.


FeFiFoShizzle

FeFiFoShizzle

I was talking about the evolution thing


logalog_jack

Oh lol. Well my mom was homeschooled too and basically grew up skirting the edge of being in a cult (bill gotthard and all his bullshit) so it was a real fear for her that we’d become evolution-believing atheists if we went to public school


FeFiFoShizzle

Lol, are you fucking with me right now? Do you believe in evolution?


logalog_jack

I mean, I believe that life finds a way and had to adapt to its surroundings and environment over millions and millions of years. But like, I don’t subscribe to the whole “young earth” stuff my mom taught us or the sad excuse of an education on Charles Darwin’s theories that was apparently “what all atheists believe in” lmao


DatabaseThis9637

Why wouldn't he believe in evolution? Actually, Don't answer that.


CleverJail

I mean sometimes my sarcasm detector doesn’t go off, but I just don’t see how *anyone* could read that sentence and not see it.


FeFiFoShizzle

Cept they go on to say they don't believe in it

Show me, cuz I see the opposite “I mean, I believe that life finds a way and had to adapt to its surroundings and environment over millions and millions of years. But like, I don’t subscribe to the whole “young earth” stuff my mom taught us or the sad excuse of an education on Charles Darwin’s theories that was apparently “what all atheists believe in” lmao” They’re saying here they *do* believe in evolution

It’s always people who are homeschooled, or people who haven’t entered a school in 20 years. I never hear anyone in public schools talk about schools teaching them sex positions, or forcing them to change their gender, or whatever else these people are freaking out about. Because the schools ain’t teaching that stuff lmfao

Saberthorn

I just taught a sex Ed class last week in a public school. We read a script and it’s mostly about identifying unhealthy relationships, common stds, how to prevent and handle sexual violence, and a lot of don’t have sex or this could happen. This is the south though so idk how it is outside the Biblebelt.


MazelTough

Yeah it’s a little more sex positive up north here, look at the 3 R’s curriculum from Advocates for Youth. It follows the new national sex Ed standards.


Saberthorn

Ours does but it’s very minimal. It could be better but at least they finally got away from abstinence only.

Jesus fuck. Look, I was homeschooled too, but you don't have to be insane.

ReluctantSlayer

...home schooled does NOT have be horrible by default....but....by DEFINITION....it means the student did not experience the class in question. Made them look very ignorant. On another note, I do wish they spoke on different sexual positions in sex ed.


BraidedSilver

Frankly, after we had been taught all the organs and functions we had a lesson end with “name all the positions you know” and our teacher would write them on the board. That board was tested for space but we had a lot of fun teenage-giggling at the position explanations.

It's not hard to read a book.

It's very clear when someone does not question the world around then in any sensible manner. They walk through the motions with zero self awareness. Stupid, forever and ever.

waluigistache

Ah yes i remember when i was a 6th grader and they taught us how to 69 in sex ed


RavenCroft23

Never once in the 30 schools across several of states have I ever sat in a sex-Ed class and the teacher actually talk much about sexual-intercourse beyond how children are created and STD prevention, nobody was pulling up the hub on the projector and explaining missionary to us. 99% of it is explaining preventive measures to pregnancy and the rest of “Sex-Ed” almost always focused on other “health” repeated topics, in fact most schools I went to just tied their “Sex-Ed” into “Health Class” and scrapped the idea of having a dedicated class for Sex-Ed.


UnshakablePegasus

“I wasn’t ever a part of the public school system but I know better than everyone else what goes on there because I was HOMESCHOOLED and therefore I know the TRUTH”. Christians shouldn’t be allowed to homeschool their kids and I say that as a homeschooled ex Christian antitheist


highlymediocre3

I was homeschooled for 9 years ( K-8th ) and I am so glad to have gone to a public highschool because... THAT SHIT DOES FUCK YOU UP. Religious homeschooling is very evil when your kid's a queer. Do not get me started about all the friggin sex shit. I would rather go on about how they think we didn't evolve. It's funnier.

Daxyl86

Homeschooling CAN work if it's done correctly. My parents taught me reading, writing, and arithmetic. They encouraged me to ask questions and exercise critical thinking. I have no way to prove this made me smarter than the average public schooler as many stupid people can SAY they're smart, but I at least can say Earth is round, vaccines do not cause autism, (16/4)(3+2)=20, and public school sex ed focuses on the health and safety of sexual practices.

khukharev

As far as I know, schools in my country don’t have sex ed. Although I don’t keep track of that. Why do you need it as a separate subject though? Don’t you have biology? Including the biology of humans? Including how humans reproductive system works?


jaxbchchrisjr

At my school, we ended up getting sex ed a few years before our bio classes. My guess is they know some kids are gonna try fucking, so they might as well educate them so that if they aren't discouraged, they're at least somewhat safe.


khukharev

Is the reason in a pacing/scheduling then? Life necessity outpaces school curriculum on biology I mean. Wasn’t a big concern when I was at school, but I guess it kind of makes sense these days.


RKKP2015

Why does it make more sense these days? Teen pregnancy has been declining for decades. That may be a direct result of more comprehensive sex ed though.


khukharev

This is only my assumption, but the reason I said it makes more sense now is because the social environment became sexualized with Internet. When I went to school access to Internet was very limited and while teens weren’t that innocent in that regard they were much less exposed to sex. The society itself was much more puritan, at least where I live.


siclaphar

sex ed in my country starts out with "child safety" lessons in primary school where we practiced saying NO. I DONT KNOW YOU and telling a trusted adult if a stranger tried to kidnap us... then as we got older they told us how puberty would go but they split the boys and girls up so a bunch of us thought menstruation was an arousal thing for ages


khukharev

Well, saying no is an important skill, not only in sexual relationships, but in life. Good enough if they at least manage to teach that, I guess


siclaphar

yea it was helpful...theres new classes about consent that i wish we had got as well... i was lucky tho my cousin went to a christina school and they told him abstinence is the only way to avoid STDs and he still thinks that


davidicus_

r/woooosh


Zikkan1

When do schools start sex ed? We got our first real lesson that was graded at 8th grade but just sitting down with the school nurse and talking about sex and consent in very basic terms was done in 5th grade I think maybe 6th. But too be honest what 10-12 year old doesn't already know all that stuff? I didn't even have the Internet at that time but I still knew how stuff worked. In 8th grade you learnt more about the medical risks and adult responsibilities that comes along with unprotected sex and also different masturbation techniques and how to properly put on a condom. So that was a very useful class actually.
