Is that the one made by PBS? If so, our teacher skipped the birth part.

They played that in 7th grade Health and CIS Anatomy/Physiology (and Wellness, but Wellness in high school was a big, traumatic blur). The first time I didn't really want to look (...being 10...), so I put my head on the desk, and in Anatomy I was too busy dissecting a cat to notice. I think in Wellness (9th grade, age 12) I was too busy being traumatized by everything.

Hmmm, from my ONE year at our high school(s),
-we had a teacher bring a shotgun to school, along with a couple death threats to other teachers
-the campus flooded (the streams rose 4 feet)
-6 major foodfights
-someone brought three mice to school and let them loose in the hallway
-a police officer fell of his motorbike while going down a hill (it was featured on Tosh.0 :P)
-Kids pulled the firealarms atleast 14 times as a joke
-from what I know, a SWAT team was brought in
-amublances came to our school atleast twice
Idk, that's about all I can remember as of now, i'll edit once i remember the rest

Across the street from my school, I saw a tiny Asian woman driving on the sidewalk on a miniature scarlet ATV.
It was slightly odd.

In sixth grade, they had to evacuate the school because they thought there was a bomb in someone's locker. We wound up about half a mile away sitting in a park for several hours while the bomb squad from Hershey was helicoptered in. It turned out that it was someone's CD player malfunctioning in their locker.

That happened at our school a few years ago

Last year, my classmate kidnapped another classmate (i.e. hid them under a shielded table), and the teacher didn't notice until it was pointed out.
100% of deaths are somehow caused by science.
Don't be a statistic.
Don't do science.

my schools actually pretty normal compared to the ones here O.o
the weirdest things that happen are maybe a few people getting kicked out because of bulling and drugs (im not sure if they ever even caught anyone with drugs yet)... and theres the occasional passed out drunk person laying in the restroom after a dance but other than that nothing else... no bombs or anything >.<

We have one drug rumor. That's it. No drunk people at school...and there's never been an expulsion for as long as I have gone to my school system. There's pretty much zero bullying too. No bombs. Ever. The only time they searched someone's lockers was when there was a horrible smell that came from one of them. It wasn't even real trouble. Just a smell. And that was the one time they looked in our lockers.
Does this make my school system weird, that it's so normal and...safe?

Yeah. Now our school has a huge chewing tobacco problem, tremendous bullying, and my stunts (Christian Bale rant).
