Obviously I wouldnt expect them to be taught the in and outs, but upon watching the News, then reading the Article itself it does make you wonder what these MPs deem acceptable, again I do think teaching Children as young as 5 is pushing it, perhaps teaching Children who are in Key Stage 2, so from Year 3 or 4 on wards would be more appropriate.
Well you got more taught than we did in year 6, all we got was puberty and that was about it. No idea what it's like now in terms of how it's taught now.
I'll be honest I don't think my school ever really taught us much about sex, I left school at 16 and I didn't know how to put a condom on and we got the stupidest videos ever, one of them was some guy turning up on some girls doorstep naked with a rose in his mouth and I think that was as graphic as it got and all I came away with after watching that is Pulp's Disco 2000 is a TUNE! So pretty terrible then, this is why I think sex ed should be better taught and the reason why it is often terrible is because teachers don't want to teach them it, I can just imagine teachers shoving videos in then running off hiding so no students can ask them questions.
