    we had sex ed, drug prevention, and nutrition all together in a class simply called “health,” and while the material was apparently much better quality than what most others get, the woman they got to teach it was dumb as a bag of hammers. couldn’t pronounce “bulbourethral gland,” didn’t know the difference between “metastasis” and “metastasize,” claimed that the cause of diabetes is that “sugar molecules are sharp and cut up the insides of your arteries” (I don’t count that one against the material because it didn’t come out of a book, she was clearly just ad-libbing out of her own head)
