Not in front of the kids

Then again, there's sex education in the United States. In a recent survey of fifth and sixth grade teachers published in the Journal of School Health, only 34% said that they had received any training in how to answer their students' questions about sex. Not surprisingly, while most of those teachers would attempt to field a question about the nature of puberty, only 18% would explain what masturbation is.

And only 1% would answer it without blushing.
