Sex talk in classrooms

1. Sex Talk in Classrooms, how far do we go?

News articles have been written recently debating the UK and their approach to sex education in schools. They have stated that there is a link between teachers being too reserved and restrained when talking about sex and the rate of actual teenage pregnancy. The experts say this is because rumours then take precedence in the minds of youngsters. Some ridiculous rumours still doing the rounds are that you can’t get pregnant if: you have sex in the bath, you haven’t started your periods (you might have started ovulating) or if you do it standing up.

We’re all for a bit of open minded teaching, but how much is too much? A school in Montreal recently came under fire because a teacher issued a test to thirteen year olds that was full of sexually explicit questions about lesbian and anal sex. We think kids should know their birds and their bees but not about sex toys and xxx dvd’s just yet, they’ve got their whole adult lives to experiment.
