9. Sex and bowling.

The tweets were very funny. She's a wise woman.

At my kids' school, they did a "sex and bowling" thing every year during their sex education unit. This was for the 7th/8th graders.

The kids could anonymously submit questions by putting them in a box (one for girls, one for boys). The teachers would read them and decide which they could answer (which was apparently most of them). The male teachers would take the boys and answer their submitted questions as a group and the female teachers would do the same for the girls (there's like 60 kids per grade so it works well) and there would be discussions that stemmed from the answers.

Then they'd get in the bus and all go bowling for the afternoon. Sex and bowling.
