Anyone else find this worrying?
Or am i over reacting when i think that kids shouldnt have sex education lessions at 5?

www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/6507537/Sex-and-drug-lessons-from-age-5.html

Also civil partnerships, religious views on sex Ed, and HIV just shouldnt be taught to a 5 year old!!

THEY ARE 5!!!!!

And actually,
what's the objection to telling them about civil partnerships?
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 13:55, Reply)

Ive always thought...
...all partnership discussion just shouldnt be a subject for schools to teach. Its something that the person should learn themselves in my opinion.

God knows growing up is hard enough as it is!

It's a pre-emptive move
if you teach kids about sex they won't complain to their Mums when they get fiddled with by Paedo Bob, so the police will have less work to do
( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 13:57, Reply)

The world is changing and teaching children about certain aspects of life has to change to.
I very much doubt 5 year olds will be getting a in-depth video about the reproductive system.
( girlinthehole, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 14:01, Reply)

Yeah..
..i doubt they are going to get the explaination of 'dutch steamboat' either. In my opinion it just seems rather odd.

I'm sure we all would prefer children to be non the wiser until they are 18 but unfortunatley that's not going to happen.
The only other option is to hide them in a cellar until they're older......erm I think.
( girlinthehole, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 14:08, Reply)

The cellar
Is a great place to learn all about sex, birth and running a subterranean household.

Of course they should,
why should we fear teaching our children anything.

Because they'll use it against us

( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Thu 5 Nov 2009, 14:21, Reply)

I must say I find the idea that we should not tell five year olds about HIV is fucking stupid.
It's a totally preventable disease which has turned into a pandemic because of the stigma attached to it and the ignorance of many sufferers.

Yeah lets not tell our children about it because it can involve sex.
fuck that! Monkeysex I'm sure you agree.

It looks pretty reasonable to me.
First sentence:
Under the new curriculum, pupils as young as seven will learn about puberty and the facts of life and five-year-olds will be taught about parts of the body, relationships and the effects of drugs on the body.

That only strikes me as problematic if you think that the Dutch have got it all wrong with their liberal attitudes, low teenage birthrate and low STD rate.
