I was first exposed to sex education in the 4th grade. From both men and women teachers as each taught a different segment of the subject. Regardless of their gender, in the land of “kiddom” they are still, “the teacher” so it didn’t make a hill of beans of difference what sex the teacher happen to be. Because ‘they’ were the ‘teacher’ and that was that.
If memory served, it was only the child birth video where us boys were separated from the girls. Then when we regrouped, we just compared notes so to speak with the girls. Which essentially amounted to them pretty much all saying, “we want pain drugs during delivery!” None of us boys argued with their sentiment.
That's reasonable of course. What do you think happens if a woman starts to talk about sex in front of class full of horny boys? That's like begging for sexual harassment. Trust me this protocol is thought out and is how it is for a reason, not a mistake.
Any reasonably educated adult should be able to teach a basic sex ed class. But the issue is when the students are uncomfortable asking one gender or another specific questions they may have.
It’s reasonable. Students will feel more comfortable asking questions with a same-sex teacher so they will learn more.

Methinks the school board decided the risk of a lawsuit should be mitigated.
Why do people care soo much about gender?
Sounds odd why not have both teach together then
