Health and sex educators around the U.S. shared some very amusing beliefs their students had at the beginning of their sexual health courses. Thank goodness they were actually enrolled in these classes because if this is the kind of thing kids believe (that Mountain Dew is effective birth control), we as a species are doomed.
Students throw out all kinds of excuses for not getting their homework done! From believable excuses to the tried and true classic “my dog ate it”, teachers hear a lot of excuses every damn day. It doesn’t help that by now, the behavioral expectations for students have become so loose that students can pretty much …
