· If the students have extra time, they can easily pull this up on a tablet allowing them to look at and listen to other students’ questions about sex and sexual health.
· This allows students to learn about healthy relationships, sexual orientation, sexual identity, and many other things.
· There’s one about personal safety and I remember when I was in elementary school (around the 2nd grade) these group of boys were sexually harassing a group of my friends and me. If this was shown beforehand, I believe that the boys would not have done what they did because they would have known how inappropriate it was.
