Gender Class

Every Friday we have a different special event. When I asked one of the Korean teachers what today was going to be, she said "Gender class." I asked what that meant, and she told me it had to do with boys and girls, and that a professional teacher was coming.

I thought to myself that there was no way it could be what I was thinking it could be. But that's exactly what it was.

The lesson was in Korean, but there was no misinterpreting the meaning of the life-size cloth dolls, complete with all the parts that real people have. The lesson started with a video of a 3D cartoon boy and girl dancing. All I was thinking was "Please don't let them strip."

They didn't. But later the video showed a picture of sperm racing towards an egg, and various stages of pregnancy.

It was really funny, and I can't help but think the 4 year olds might be a bit too young for it, but the kids seemed to handle it pretty well. All in all, it seemed like it might be a more sane approach to sex ed than the States. Discuss.
