There are a more than a few things I don’t do well.
Singing, dancing and playing musical instruments are all out of the question while being a guest teacher for the day.
Explaining math, reading aloud, inserting DVD’s are all well within my talents while following a teacher’s lesson plan.
Mixed in with the books for today’s 6th grade assignment included a title called “"What's Happening To Me? A Guide to Puberty…”
The book includes a section titled:
Worlds most embarrassing questions (WMEQ):
- Why is my chest getting bumpy?
- What’s an erection?
- What’s a period?
- Why is my voice acting funny?
- Why do I get pimples?
- What’s masturbation?
- Why am I getting hairy?
- What’s a wet dream?
- Why is mine not like his?
- What happens next?
A VERY illustrated book! No way is this going to work in a mixed boy/girl classroom environment of thirty kids without losing control.
A quick double check of the lesson plan did NOT include any lesson plan assignment involving this book.
That’s very good, because it had already made my current and future “Do Not Do” list.
No Way! No How!
