The class discussion and presentations today were very interesting to me. In particular, the information that was presented about the incidence of STDs, coupled with the information that was shared by a classmate about what happens in the bathroom at the school where she teaches is very disturbing. I agree with the sentiment that was expressed in class today that what is being done today is definitely NOT working. Although I agree that something different must be done, I am not sure about just what should be done. Although I am not a teacher, it seems that the expectation is that teachers will "do it all." Given the comments that have been shared by some of the teachers in the class (and other teachers that I know) regarding the amount of teaching that teachers are expected to do and previous posts from fellow classmates about teacher training, I wonder if this would be feasible. I really like Dr. Hagan's suggestion of having more counselors in schools who are actually able to talk to students.
