I think where the government & school board failed is that they underestimated the reaction of parents being comfortable with such a proposal. If they can provide an outline or curriculum defining what will be covered and when during the semester/year, as a heads up, it's still acknowledging and respecting the parent's authority. In all honesty, I don't believe they will be crude or graphic in the approach, but to throw it on parents out of what seemed like no-where? It was just poor tactic on their part and that's what all the fuss is about.
I'd like to consider myself very liberal and open minded especially towards these things, but it's all in the delivery. Their's was just sloppy and not properly thought through. |
You're right... they should have been clear from the get-go. Clarity would have helped to avoid fear-motivated reactionary hyperbole, (like that which we saw in this thread). |

as a parent, I don't want my daughter learning about anal sex, oral sex, salad tossing, rusty trombone, Cincinnati bowtie, juice cocktails, hot carl, pearly necklace, doubler decker pussies, donkey punch or tea bagging in grade 6 for fuk sakes. Let them learn about the basics as Vdub says, leave the rest for grade 9. |
Like I said earlier, the average age of girls first engaging in oral sex is 13. This is Grade 7 - LONG BEFORE Grade 9. Waiting until high school is closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. Do you REALLY want your daughter to learn about the risks of oral sex AFTER she's started doing it?
Or is this just another case of "oh my little girl wouldn't do that"? |

lol @ fear motivated.
all im saying is old system worked perfectly, after all. why change it now?? to appease one faction at the expense of another?? why cant kids learn by themselves instead of being fed all this unnecessary crap at such young age??
with all due respect i call bull on all that!!

Sexual experimentation amongst my friends in Elementary school began in grades 7. I didn't "go there" but I did let Billy Edwards touch my bum at boy-girl slow-dancing parties and we made out a little a few times...lol
There were pregnancies in my Catholic highschool in Grade 9. |

does that means somebody will be saying "its ok to be homosexual if you want to" to my kids at the age of 8-9??? |
Yes....the school board would have been saying to your kids its alright to be gay...which IMO it is alright...but not everyone shares that belief and the school board shouldn't be telling kids its alright or not alright. |

Straight-up - kids are comming face-to-face with sexual images and information now more than they ever have. Is it not better to answer age-appropriate questions before they are asked?
Are parents really comfortable with providing information to their children? I highly-doubt it - especially the "concerned" parents protesting the new curriculum. Let your children figure it out themselves you dumb dumbs... great idea... :confused:
Gawd - everything I learned about sex came from my friends and the (very little) sex-ed I got in the Catholic School Board, (and of course there's no such thing as birth control - it's a SIN for goodness sakes ~ we Catholics only practice abstinence ya know.... ):rolleyes:
I fully-intend to teach my (future) kids about sexuality, homosexuality, and all that jazz someday... but we all know that's not the norm... I never had "the talk" with either of my parents... and I know I'm not the only one whose parents were uncomfortable with the subject matter. These parents are fooling themselves into thinking that (accurate) information is going to in any way affect when their children will actually put what they know into action. (and Gawd - at least they have accurate information!)
Stuff like this irks me to no-end. Deliberately keeping your kids ignorant is a perverse and counter-productive parenting strategy. |
I don't agree with you at all. I would like it to be my choice at that age to teach my children about that stuff. ing grade 3? Kids aren't even 10! That's sickening. The kid can't read and add but it's going to learn about dicks and pussies?
Why don't they concentrate on actually teaching the kids useful things like math and english and worry about the sex stuff later.
This is exactly the reason why kids in Canada are behind in all the important courses. |

While I do think it's important to teach children the realities of sex at a young age b/c they're going to do it anyway, grade 3 is a bit young IMO.
And in response to Catholic schools. I think it should be expected that at a Catholic school you're not going to have extensive sex ed classes, and also have mandatory religion classes. If you don't want that, go to a public school. I know some people will say "well my parents made me go there," well you can transfer. I had a lot of friends who transferred schools even though their parents didn't agree. |
i don't know. i went to catholic school. sex ed was part of the curriculum from grade 5. i felt like it was appropriate, and i learned everything i needed to know. |
