Sex Ed, Tuesday, First Period
When the students entered the classroom, they would find 'SEX ED' written in large block letters on the chalkboard. Steve figured it was best to get that out there as soon as possible, so anyone who was going to turn red and splutter could do it, and anyone who was in the wrong place could leave with minimal awkwardness. Steve waited until everyone had arrived, then got up from behind his desk and came to stand in front of it with his arms crossed. He looked rather imposing.
"Good morning," he said. "I am Steve Rogers. Mr. Rogers is fine, and Professor Rogers is fine." He would probably even answer to Steve, but he wasn't about to offer it to them. "This is Sex Ed. If you did not sign up for Sex Ed, you can leave now. If you signed up for Sex Ed with the intention of behaving immaturely, please don't. Anything we discuss in this room does not leave it. I have no control over the radio squirrels, but outside of this room, I trust you all to be circumspect about things learned about your fellow students in it. I know it's early, and I don't mind if you bring coffee or some other source of caffeine with you, but I will tolerate no sleeping in my class."
Then he uncrossed his arms and grinned. "So. Pretty straightforward first class; it's not in the handbook but I'm given to believe the introductions week is obligatory. I want to get to know you and what I've gotten myself into here, and I'd like for you to get to know each other, since we'll be discussing some pretty sensitive topics here and I want everyone to feel safe doing so. At the least, I'd like to hear your name and where you're from, since I've found that can be instructive, if you've had any instruction in sex education before, and what you'd like to get out of this class. And let's say...one thing you just want the class to know about you. Then we'll have some free time for you to talk among yourselves or ask me any questions you might have right away. That sound good?" He didn't wait for an answer. "Good. Also, I'm looking to hire two TAs; anyone interested can see me after class. We'll start with you," he said, pointing to a student at random.
