In the United States it’s usually considered an extra-curricular activity

This unfortunate headline from the Gloucestershire Echo in the United Kingdom raised a few eyebrows. The headline on the Echo’s website has now been changed to read, “Girls’ schools still offering ‘something special’ says headteacher.”

Headteacher? Isn’t that taking the concept of sex education just a little too far?

  • What a great Valentine's Day story. Ya know, Mrs Mistella talks about going back to school, and now I think that's a great idea. Thanks IHTM!

  • Wouldn't the school be doing the girls a better service if they taught them how to read, write and do math problems instead? Even cooking and keeping a clean house should be learned first! The "head" part comes later, like after she is married!

    Just kidding! Don't all you ladies here get mad at me for being a smartass, it's something that just pops up from time to time!

    • Gee, whiskeyriver. The head part starts at marriage? I thought that's when it stopped. I guess I got the wrong memo ....

      • You may have a point Barb R. After many years of marriage and raising 7 children I suddenly found myself single with no head at all. But I'm getting over it, I'm looking at some "diving" possibilities and things are looking up!

        I warned you! Don't get me started!

  • Its the weekend! It doesnt have to be wall to wall socialist-slapping to keep me happy.

    I know you guys work hard on the stories and its probably nice to be able to post a simple, funny piece and then get back to your weekend. So, thanks for your hard work over there at IHTM World Headquarters.

  • Haha! Geez. Slow news day over @ IHTM HQ?

    I hope we're approaching the bottom of the Barrel with this one, Guys. ;)
