Absurd Teacher Instructed Students to ‘Bring a Banana’ for Condom Practice

Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] An absurd incident occurred at a coeducational high school in Damyang, Jeonnam, where a teacher in his mid-30s demanded students bring bananas for sex education.

According to the Jeonnam Office of Education on the 6th, Teacher B, who teaches technology and home economics at A High School in Damyang, asked first-year students to bring bananas as materials for a class on pregnancy and childbirth on the 2nd.

During the class on pregnancy and childbirth, one student requested, "Please teach us the correct way to use a condom."

In response, Teacher B instructed, "I will bring condoms from the health office, so you should bring five bananas as practice materials."

However, on the 3rd, two parents who learned of this strongly protested to the school, and the school immediately canceled the problematic sex education class.

A school official stated, "Teacher B claimed it was a good intention to provide proper sex education to the students, but due to parents' protests, it was judged that moderation was necessary, so a warning was given."

A Jeonnam Office of Education official said, "It seems the idea of providing proper sex education went too far," and added, "We will be careful to prevent such incidents from happening in the future."
