Um. That having sex is not actually "a death sentence" (quoth my mother). I wish they'd have shown us actual condoms and not drawings of them, and I wish they'd have taught the full classes real information about female reproductive health in particular.
Mostly, though, I wish there had been a total crackdown on the immaturity. I'm okay with questions and not knowing - that's why you need the sex ed - but I remember being so ashamed to be in that class, because of the crass jokes and bullying and adolescent idiocy. I didn't learn anything not just because the curriculum sucked, which it did, but because it was such a horrible environment (a windowless basement with the wrestling coach, I swear to God, how cliche?) I had to zone out just to get through it.
