azuriteI'm so exhausted. So why am I here and not at home?
1) My sleep schedule has been whack the past several days, as is my appetite (there was nothing to eat this morning, so I ended up having a Krispy Kreme and a hot cocoa, followed by an apple for lunch). Going home and sleeping won't help matters any.
2) Grandpa's at work, and then he has to go to the doctor or some such. I'm so tired (and my backpack is loaded down with 2 textbooks, 1 workbook, my binder, my planner, and 4 books for my persuasive speech on the 22nd to use as foundational evidence) that I think I'd pass out if I tried to walk home. It's supposed to be 80-something degrees out. WTF?
3) Scott gets out of his critique at 3:30, so if he can give me a ride home, all the better. Plus, I want to know what everyone in his class thought of me as a photographic subject. He invited me to come with him, but I was too shy. X_X
I went to bed at 2am this morning (my, how time flies), and woke up around 7:45am to complete my speech lab... of course the database had to be down! But at least Sharky gave us an extra day to do it, so now I can go home, loaded with my research, and get real evidence. I'd also like to ask everyone to do me a quick and simple favor.
So I'm doing a persuasive speech on sexual education in elementary schools. I'd like to have some testimony from people so I can develop my argument further. Please try and answer as many of these quesrtions as you want/feel comfortable with, with as much detail as desired.
* Did you have a sexual education course in your elementary/primary school (Grades K-5 or 6)?
* If not, did you wish you did (later on?)
* If you did have a course, did you find it informative? Interesting? Useful?
* If you had a course, how did it compare to later courses, either in junior high, high school, or college/university?
* What are your opinions on the necessity (or lack thereof) of sexual education in elementary schools, typically at the 4th or 5th grade level (ages 10-11)?
* What about your parents? Did they ever talk to you about sex, or did they rely soley on your school instructors to inform you? Was it a combination of both?
* If you didn't receive instruction from schools or your parents, when and where did you first learn about sex? Was this form of instruction useful/effective? Why or why not?
* If you were placed in a position where you had to decide whether a child would get sexual education (either as a parent or a teacher), what would influence what you would say, how you would present information, and at what age (of the children) you would feel comfortable addressing specific topics?
Thank you!!
I'm also hoping to get feedback from my father and Baba (educators), Grandpa and other medical practicioners, and my mom (a concerned parent). ^_^
Oh yeah, I think I might do this one later on... and perhaps tweak it for Anzu... *grin* (I frankly think my death is one of the best ways to go. w00t!)
This week I have to get around to writing Media Notebook 2-2, revising 2-1 before the 22nd, wrapping Scott's presents, etc. etc... I feel like there's something else I'm forgetting, but maybe I'll remember it later on? Yeah.
zzzzzz....
