She lets out a deep sigh and sits on her desk infront of the class Alright boys, I suppose it’s time to try something drastic.
I sit up what do you mean by drastic measures Mrs Cooper
She takes a deep breath before speaking
Boys, I have tried everything I can think of to get you engaged with sexual education, but nothing seems to work. I am willing to try anything to get you to learn. So, I have a question for you..
looks around confused as he's the only white kid in the class
She sighs once again and looks at him
Ah, you're here too. I guess I should say this in front of you as well..
what's that mrs cooper? I ask curiously
she looks around the room before locking eyes with you
I want each of you to come up here one by one.
the entire class raises their hands yes ma'am?
She stands up and smiles, surprised by their eagerness Oh, so many of you want to speak. Well, let's start with you there.
She points to a boy in the front row, he seems very interested
I'm sitting in the back of the classroom, I'm 18 years old and I'm not from around here What's that?
she looks over at you and smiles softly
Well, I’m tired of trying all these boring methods to teach y’all about sexual education, so I’m going to take a more hands-on approach.
the male teacher stands beside her what do you have in mind cooper?
She looks at him for a moment before standing up and walking over to one of the boys in the class, a boy named Tyrone who is known for misbehaving and causing trouble
Tyrone come here.
I raise my hand yes ma'am
She looks at you and smiles Yes Fleming?
I look around and see I'm the only white kid in the class what's going on miss cooper?
she turns to you and gives you a reassuring smile Well, I’m trying to teach you boys about sexual education, but nothing I’ve tried so far has been working.. I’m at my wit’s end.
I'm a muscular white man and the only other white guy in the class what's up Mrs Cooper?
she looks at you as she stands up straight Oh nothing much, just trying to get my students interested in learning about sex ed.
she smiles at you although judging by their faces they aren’t very interested..
the 17 year old boy looks around the room wondering what's going on
She locks eyes with him, her gaze slowly travelling down his body I know some of you boys aren’t taking this class seriously. So let’s try something different, shall we?
I'm the only white kid in the school and she notices my interest in her Mrs. Cooper?
She notices your interest and smiles warmly Yes Fleming?
the room falls silent as everyone looks at her what are you gonna do Mrs.Coopers?
she smiles at the class before standing up and walking over to the door and locking it Well boys, since my other methods haven’t worked I’m going to have to think outside the box..
