But that still doesn't mean that children should not be taught that violence is wrong. I am sure that you will agree that the amount of homework, or the lack of it, is not the reason why some children can't read or write. I can agree that there are some oddities in some schools' timetables, but they are not the majority of schools. Flyboy10 has to learn French, but he suffers from a language disorder, he gets speech and language therapy at school and tries his best at French, not because he has to, but because he finds it fascinating and it is a change from all the input he gets from English literacy. His reading age is six years and nine months and his spelling age is a bit lower, but this is nothing at all to do with the way the school manage their curriculum, or how much homework he gets.

Keep the government out of my and my families life,thank very much! I am a responsible citizen,and I am so through my own will and ability!

There's no need for the gov to tell me what to eat,drink,ingest,think,feel or whatever.
Domestic violence is abhorrent,that's a no-brainer,and it's up to the families and individuals to live by that maxim.
No wonder we live in a culture of no responsibilty,'let the government run my life for me'!!

Flyboy,I suggest you move to a communist/stalinist country,there you can have the gov run your life for you to your hearts content.

PLEASE LEAVE ME AND MY FREEDOMS ALONE
But there clearly is a need for children to be taught these things, because they are not getting taught about them anywhere else.

It makes me laugh when I hear "nanny state," or "it's my job to teach my children these things," when it is obvious that there is a need, because otherwise we wouldn't be seeing a rise on male-on-female violence. Just this week a study revealed an increase in young teenage girls being victims of physical abuse, from their male partners. How do you propose we should tackle such things? What suggestions can you come up with, that will solve this problem?
