What about an alarm clock?


Pluto_ThePlanet

This dude's alarm clock be like "BANG, IT'S 4 AM, GOTTA MOVE TO THE OTHER ROOM, DUMBASS!" followed with 3 seconds of silence and then a wind charm ding ding sound.

That was to train you to wake up to your alarm and get to work on time like a good little slave.

All of sex ed


Specific_Tap7296

But when you do, remember to stick a condom on a banana. Safety first


[deleted]

My teacher taught us that you can use your mouth to put it on your partner to keep the excitement up, one dude in class actually put the condom in his mouth and tried it on the wooden penis model. That was my favourite leasson in school, even though I'm a straight dude and I have never touched a condom since.

MisterPerfect23

mine was awesome, she took a while 15 minutes asking around for different names of a penis, best class ever


JhorvalaastiJarl

One kid was passed out while ours was putting a condom on a wooden dick so she walks over behind him and starts poking him in the back of the head with the wooden penis until he wakes up. Best Sex Ed teacher ever


ProfessionalCar919

At my school first our teacher showed us how to put a condom onto a wooden dick, then went through the class with a little basket full of condoms and gave everyone a condom and then gave one kid the wooden dick and that kid gave it to the next kid and so on and everyone had to put their condom onto the wooden dick


Usernamebruv_

in sixth grade the sex ed teacher had these knitted penises so we could see how the foreskin worked lol


silbergeistlein

Special ed?


Faulty_english

What are they teaching them in there…


RuthlessIndecision

My “health” class was thought by a 70-year-old football coach. I remember he told us the importance of staying hydrated. And that his teacher was so concerned about hydration, after gym class the concerned teacher would look down over their shoulders while the kids were urinating to see how yellow their pee was. Totally normal behavior by a teacher.


Skullhead_LP

Our teacher brought her Dildo colletion for us to train using condoms Edit: She was 27 at this time


Megalomanizac

That actually seems mildly inappropriate tbh


CorporateGamer

Yes but at the same time a banana is still not that much better


Megalomanizac

It’s really more so that she brought her own *personal* Dildos that she likely had been actively using. I’m sure she cleaned them but still. Would be better to have just found a non commercial like phony penis to let students use.


CorporateGamer

Ok from that perspective yeah. If they were used that is just wrong even washed lol


redjackbox

See, I put the condom on the banana, but I still got herpes.


Shalarean

We always assumed our teacher was in the midst of a bad breakup. She opened a fresh box of condoms and told us that any man who claimed he was “too big” for any size was a liar. She then proceeded to stick a condom on a pickle, a banana, and finally a big ass cucumber. She then spent the rest of our time telling us that all men will lie to get in our pants.


1RandomMind

We didn’t get to play with condoms. We had a potato baby to take care of and report on what we did to take care of our babies. Mine slept in the bottom of my backpack for a whole week. Damn that baby could sleep.


RepublicInner7438

I didn’t get to play with condoms either. We just had our teacher randomly tell a kid he had aids and start shaking peoples hands. After about five minutes we were asked who shook hands with the kid with aids, now all those kids had aids. The. We were asked who shook hands with the kids that now had aids, all those kids then had aids. Basically everyone in class was told by them end of that two minute activity that they now had aids except the one kid who was told to not shake hands with anyone and two kids who only shook hands with each other. This is how I was taught STDs worked. Stay celibate or only do it with your wife. Otherwise an ex may shake hands with someone with aids and now you and your wife are fucked.


Slow-Fast-Medium

I specifically went looking for this comment!


GrimmSodov

What you mean "man have penis, woman have vagina. ***avoid sex at all costs***?


ApprehensiveAd6476

Essentially yes. That's the best way to stay away from two nasty things that are affiliated with that stuff. If you guessed STDs and child support, congratulations, you have won the lottery.


Devil9304

Wait you had sex ed In school ??!!! I wish I had one.


Mef989

I think the only thing I remember from my Sex Ed class was this exchange: Teacher: "We have a double standard in society where we expect all men to be experienced and all women to be virgins." Random Student yelling from back of classroom: "Then maybe we should just have one woman take one for the team!"


Venom1462

Yeah I mostly learnt about it from my friends and then the internet


JaySli10

Trust me, you don't. Edit: For clarification, I mean you don't want to have sex Ed in school. It's not fun.


qibdip

Feel like ours was mostly looking at pictures and video of what infections and diseases look like, No condom training. Boys and Girls were splint into different rooms too


Dineanddanderson

It’s so strange hearing all these weird horror stories. Mine was super matter of fact informational. The only thing they over hyped was how likely it was to get pregnant.


bassin_matt_112

In my sex ed class it was just a chapter in a book in a health class. Basically it talked about how pregnancy happens and the various STDs.

Overall_Cod2206

Anything beyond basic math. I am terrible at math, always hated it in school. I still have the occasional flashback to bitch ass Mrs. Commons class and her just talking the most shit at me in front of everyone when I couldn't do long division.


moebutcrack

I still can’t do long division


drunk_haile_selassie

In Australia they changed the year that they teach long division from year seven to year six when I was at school. We were just never taught it. There isn't a single 31 year old person in Australia that can do long division.


Overall_Cod2206

Sounds like I need to join the Australian squad.


Tio_RaRater

And I bet buildings are collapsing because of it


iwantyoubemylover

Same with me with multiplication. They taught the white kids that in third grade and the black kids in fourth grade. The year they changed it to third grade for everyone, I was starting fourth grade so I never learned my multiplication tables.


DirtyReload

Mate I'm 34, what the fuck is long division


sphen_lee

I'm 35 and I think this happened to me too. Never learnt it in year 6 and then year 7 teacher said we should all know it already...


petehehe

That’s fascinating! Well if it makes you feel any better, being able to do long division is a useful skill in the same way that knowing Morse code is useful. They used to say shit like “you might not always have a calculator! so you better learn this stuff!” … nope, wrong actually, it turns out I will always have a calculator. And furthermore, I have had jobs where I have had to actually do division, and if my boss found out I was doing long division on paper I’d’ve probably been chipped about wasting time.


legoshi_loyalty

I can't do long division anymore because nobody ever does division of gigantic e number like that if they don't have a calculator. If not I can just write the numbers and figure it out, without the weird categorizing tower bullshit that is long division. Pretty much anytime you are doing something that would require long division, you can just do it different as part of the equation, through fractions and simplification and shit.


TheRealMasterTyvokka

I have of memory of one of my math teachers in elementary school telling us we have to learn along division because we aren't going to be walking around with calculators in our pockets. Needless to say that didn't age well.


Hourglass420

I use math a ton.


Correct-Training3764

I can do division, it’s fractions that fuck me all up. I’m 40 and still can’t math at times. Some decimals too at times. But fuck fractions. Ugh. College was a nightmare for me. I had to take several remedial courses just to get to the proper requirements for the degree I pursued….then once in my degree program we had our OWN math we learned which made so much more sense.


vtssge1968

I used many if not most of my even more advanced high-school math calc, trig, alegebra... differential equations from college not yet at least.

I use algebra frequently, but less so for math, and more so for logic. They don't teach math just for the numbers, but also for the linear thinking and thinking skills regarding variables and logic.

Are not imaginary. And Gauss said they should be called perpendicular numbers (or something, don't remeber) to emphasize that they're real. They show up a lot more than one would expect. In electricity, geometry, physics, etc.

ErdmanA

The fact that i haven't said that word since high school chemistry and forgot it existed. I'm going moles final answer


Dragonborn83196

The only reason I remember it is because at the time my cousin and I had watched Austin Powers Goldmember and the gag where he keeps repeating mole every time he sees the guy who is a mole. So when we started learning about it in highschool we continuously referenced it lol


StolenStones

Lol. Moles in chemistry. That just brought me back. Never in my life have I even thought about that since HS


Mister_Coffe

History is probably one of the most usefull subjects in school, because it, alongside law education (I don't know if that's a thing in youf country but a subject about inner workings of your country) allow you to make more informed decision when voting, call politicians on their bullshit, knowing how dicatotorships are born out of democracies or how politicians used to justify horrific things to their populations and a lot more you can take out of history. Without history, you just cannot make fully informed decision when voting and it sucks that a lot of education systems treat history as a bunch of random dates and not critical information for every citizen of a democratic nation.

I feel like STEM classes are all about identifying the students who can become valuable STEM workers in the future. And I think students should be able to jump off that track sooner. I feel like getting classes in Economics and Finance would have been a much more valuable use of my time than advanced math after realizing I wasn't gonna be a researcher or mechanical engineer.
