Why else would we have such things as compulsory relationship education. |
which is why it shouldn't be done in school
and why there are opt outs for sex ed and relationship education
this is still for parents to decide
and in a school where basic maths even after intervention is still a problem its the last thing they should have been trying to introduce
home schooling is on the increase and a lot of that is to do with parents becoming increasingly fed up with being told what values their kids should be taught rather than schools sticking to teaching the core subjects
i seriously thought about it but think social interaction is as much a part of learning as the imparting of information but if schools continue to try to do this sort of thing I would reconsider
if and when mine are ready I will ( have already for the eldest ) explain and show what happens
( funny thing and remember i eat and have killed my own food very few are willing to show this to these or older kids ( and i think its an older kid thing ) exactly what happens in the abattoir )
