My husband went through AYS in the early 90's and remembers the class itself fondly, including the shock that old people have sex too. One negative thing that happened, though, was that they'd invited some other kids in the community to be part of it, and among that group of kids were some of J's bullies. You can imagine that the homophobic name calling didn't improve after watching slides of gay sex together.

I don't think that's anything a teacher can necessarily control, but I did want to mention it. Maybe a good topic of discussion, if it's not in the curriculum already.

I think the idea of the overnight is great though, I bet the kids will be super excited about that. J is still friends with a good number of people from his YRUU days, so I know that that age/activity combination is a powerful one.
