I think what would get to me is the fact that the kids will be even more embarrassed than you, and showing that fact in very teenagery ways. Because I can do a really good job of pretending the things I think should be normal are normal, but only if other people are willing to pretend, too.

It actually reminds me a little of the sex ed curriculum we had in my alternative grade seven programme. We didn't have diagrams, but we did have anything-goes anonymous questions that the teachers had to draw at random out of a box and answer in front of four classes of kids. And when I say "anything goes," I REALLY MEAN IT.
