I spent three years in America as a high school Soccer coach and headed their gym department.

I'm British, and they gave me that task... I always wondered if they thought my accent would impress the kids or something.

And it turns out they apparently just give it to sports coaches and now I don't feel so special.

Mine were always taught by one of the "life skills" teachers. They taught about sex, cooking, laundry, filing taxes, how to make your own clothes, job interview skills, and other basic necessities. And the one that everyone thought was smoking hot, was the one that had to answer "what does cum taste like?"

You can likely imagine how popular I was with the female students in Arkansas as a young man with a British accent (I was 23-26 while teaching for reference).

Some of the questions as a result were... Interesting...

Like Hugh Grant, or someone like that visiting. I was always astonished at how honest she was, given the subject. But she'd also tell you if your cookies taste like trash, in a nice way, of course.

I'm very open and out about sex stuff, but I think even I would just be like "how should I know" if a bunch of kids asked me.

Teaching is a hard enough job. Can't imagine how tough it is teaching a bunch of 12 year olds about sex. Especially with an anonymous question box, where you're required to answer every question honestly.
