"  Proving sex ed\u00A0can\u00A0get more awkward, instructors asked\u00A0eighth graders at Woodland Park Middle School in San Marcos, California, to stand under signs indicating how far they were willing to go sexually, ABC10 News reported. A 14-year-old student told her parents about the activity, where students chose between signs labeled &amp;quot;smiled at, hugged, kissed, above the waist, below the waist, and all the way&amp;quot; in front of the class.\u00A0 The school&amp;#039;s principal defended the lesson, saying it came from a community clinic and had been used for years to discuss what&amp;#039;s appropriate for middle school dating. &amp;quot;The parents sign permission slips for the class and can look at the curriculum prior,&amp;quot; he told ABC10. &amp;quot;The purpose of the lesson was to open the lines of communication between parents and students about dating expectations.&amp;quot; Those lines, the 14-year-old&amp;#039;s parents who called the news outlet about the lesson said, need to be less invasive. &amp;quot;To put [students] up in front of their friends to be humiliated or to be asked questions that I believe are personal, it&amp;#039;s really none of the school&amp;#039;s business.&amp;quot; For an exercise like that, &amp;quot;they need to have it on paper, no names on it; they can do it at their desk and put it in a private box if the school really wants to know.&amp;quot; RELATED: Boy Bullied Out of School for Having a My Little Pony Backpack The Truth Behind Your Biggest Birth Control Worries Are Leggings Too Distracting for Middle School?
