Excellent, really good, covered everything!
Very good, covered nearly everything.
Alright, we learnt about the most popular things.
Reasonable, we touched the basics.
Rubbish, we didn't even learn the basics!
my sex ed was a quick video about what 'sex' is, thats it.
I think i had it in like year 8? dunno.
It's touched on the basics but I know it anyway. The teacher usually puts the video on and goes and does something else. Someone asked what the difference between ribbed and normal condoms were and she laughed and said we'll come back to that, but she didn't. I think the majority of the teachers are embarrased.

My last sex education was good. We got an external instructor, and although I already knew everything that she said, she was funny and interesting to listen to. We were shown pictures of the consequences of sex, how HIV is spread and even showed a video of the account of a girl who know has HIV.
There was this interesting demonstration though. She asked for 5 volunteers, and each of them got a cup half-filled with water. 1 cup contains sodium hydroxide solution (alkali), while the others contained water. They were supposed to pour water into one another's cup. A universal indicator was used and all the solutions turned purple due to the presense of an alkali.
Basically, the person with the sodium hydroxide solution represents an infected HIV person, and the act of pouring water represents sex. It just shows that even by having one sex partner, you can get HIV or other STDs.
I have never ever had sex education in education. I have now finished compulsory education, how **** is that. Teachers are either too embarrased to teach it or incapable, neither of which are an excuse.
It's not exactly rocket science is it?
mine's pretty much like that. most of us just cba with them so we skipped. but for first few lessons we just giggled over it. and oh yeah, they split girls from boys. made us go to different roomsAt school, when you ever get sex education, how good is it, answer in the poll, post some comments.
Personally I think when I got mine it was rubbish! We had it the other day, and we just talked about how to stay away from someone and if you fancy them, how to get a good relationship. We didn't learn about any side effects from sex, how to wear condoms, or anything like that. And they complain about underage sex? They need better sex education in my eyes!
Same here too. I'm in Year 10 but I imagine it's a little late for a few perhaps even if we did get some now. I touched on the basics in year 6, in year 6 though we didn't learn about having sex, contraception or STDs, it was simply 'Puberty', we ironically did touch on Walking the dog though, and I guess that comes before sex? haha!
At secondary school we haven't touched the subject once, most of us are hopefully aware of it all but last year there was a chav in my form who didn't know what a condom was. I guess it won't affect me not having sex education but for the idiots who have no idea about the subject, then it will affect them. I also knew someone who didn't weara condom as he 'Couldnt be bothered' to get one.
It's just a disaster and I thought it was compulsory but I'm clearly mistaken
JW, when do you learn it??
I learnt it back in primary school. 12 years old lmao
Absolute crap!
Only in year 6 but very very vague!
