said by Mchart :The reason sex education exists is because some parents refuse to tell their kids how those things work. Then said kids go and have sex, and have a kid. Gee, I wonder why. If you don't like sex education you can opt your kid out. However, I hope you dont keep your kid in the dark, or you may end up with a kid who has a kid at the age of 14. I guess you didn't goto school anytime before the 60's. If you did, you would realize that that statement applied more back then, then it does now. We've already had to have the birds and bees talk with our 10 year old (5th grade). I think that's too young but we overheard him making statements to our 8 year old about the subject that were completely wrong. We know he did not get them from TV because we do not allow him to watch even PG shows without us. We assumed he received it from class mates and rather than have him running around with incorrect information, we laid down the truth about his genitals, the Easter bunny and Santa. It was surprising how wrong his sex knowledge was.
Regarding going to school in the 60s -- no, I'm not quite that old. I was in Kindergarten in '69 but the only thing I remember is some of the kids getting spanked by Mrs. Smith -- which of course is not allowed today. |

| You assumed right, he most likely did receive it from class mates who probally don't watch only PG content daily, and see a myriad of advertisements promoting all sorts of behavior. Yet for some reason you decide to point the finger at the teacher. Lots of people like pointing the finger at the teacher, its easier then dealing with your own kid. |

| I am sorry, but where exactly did he point the finger at the teacher? The only "pointing of the finger" that happened was in his first post, where he stated that the teacher did not allow his child to consume said cereal bar.
Thats hardly "pointing a finger", thats merely recounting an event.
And as you said yourself, he "assumed right". The child "most likely did receive it from class mates".
So again, where is he "pointing the finger at the teacher"? |

People are just plain lazy when it comes to sleuthing out the real causes. They like to blame it on anything but the problem. Classic example of why we are all screwed. Denial is the most dangerous thing our society has to deal with right about now. |
