Nothing is probably the best description of what was going through the adolescent brain the moment the chair (or fist or rock) was thrown through the window. “What were you thinking?” We probe a little further. The subject, a year 10 boy shrugs his shoulders. Of course, as educators we know this too well, seeing this played out on a daily basis with the boys that we work with. It never ceases to amaze students that in males the part of the brain which predicts unfavourable outcomes is less developed in teenage boys than their female counterparts. As part of this program we explore the gender and the general differences in brain function between the sexes.
Every year as an educator I inevitably teach at least once a unit in Human Sexuality to a group of year 8 or 9 students.
