Scandal at Shanghai Foreign Languages School!

Monday December 9: My Senior 2's could not wait to tell meths morning at 9:45 a.m.this morning ( after having tight two previous classes of much l
younger students - oblivious?) that one of our Junior 2 students is pregnant. She is 14 years old - I do not teach her- do not know her- but what an uproar at the school today!
I had "prepped" something totally different of this calls, but this was such an interesting opportunity to "share" cross-cultural differences between Canada and China.
My Senior 2's are 17 and 18-years old and equivalent to my college classes back home. While i LOVE all the levels that I teach here, these classes afford me an opportunity to have "hard-core" discussions on some very interesting topics.
What I heard: Her "accomplice" is also 14 years old and a student at this school. Her pregnancy will be terminated, for sure. Her life is ruined - as is his- but to a lesser extent. Both sets of parents will be responsible for 80% of the "blame". They have "lost face".
My question was much more pragmatic and I did not ask it, but: WHEN and WHERE do 14-year-olds have sex???? ( In Shanghai, I mean!). There is no privacy anywhere and the students are "booked" solid every moment of the day……
When I got back to my office, I saw my office-mates for the first time that morning. We  had the whole discussion again- they were eager to hear what the "typical" Canadian response would be and how I felt about it…………( these are (Chinese) MEN and they were so "gossipy" - I LOVED it).

what a fun day………………..( I DO feel bad for the girl involved- these students get absolutely NO Sex Education in the curriculum- and they told me "quality" condoms are very expensive- the cheap ones don't work)
On another note- Victoria ( Russian teacher & neighbour) entertained friends from SuZhou on Sunday. They shopped and she saw this notebook and thought of me. She is truly a generous and lovely friend here in Shanghai
