Do you know what you are talking about and have an active involvement OP? I.e do you have primary school age children who might be affected and you have researched the relevant part of the curriculum or are you a teacher who might have to carry it out?
Or are you just commenting on a random headline you read this morning in a kneekjerk way similar to the quote you posted?
I’ll admit, I’m not a parent or a teacher and it was a bit of a kneejerk rant. However, it’s more about the fact that this comes up again and again and it’s pretty difficult to deny that, when it comes to talking about sex and relationships, as a society, we’re pretty **** poor. And that cannot be a good thing.
Personally I would rather this type of education was restricted to biology at this young age and the R part left for parents.
I wouldn’t argue with your first point, but your second point leaves the risk that the parent’s won’t talk about it, because traditionally/culturally we just don’t, or at least don’t do it very well.
Also I don’t think sticking a video on then having a half arsed ‘discussion’ about it afterwards is any kind of education at all.
I agree, but the answer is to make the education good rather than not doing it at all.
