Sex Education for Primary school....

[Heraldo]

I did go blind.

Hairy palms

Did you hear this from the same person who told you that children are being sworn to secrecy by their teacher

Yes, and you say it is laughable, so which ideologically captured woman should I believe?
Seems plausible to me that these NGOs should want to push their ideology into schools.
And are pupils allowed to bring the books home like normal school books?
And more time allocated to SPHE must mean less time allocated to stem subjects

Maybe believe the one with evidence.

The job of any NGO is to lobby. Not sure why you are trying to make it sound sinister.

And are pupils allowed to bring the books home like normal school books?

For the stay safe program? Yes, not only do they bring it home but parents have to sign the page that they have studied..

And more time allocated to SPHE must mean less time allocated to stem subjects

Why? Firstly, what's your basis for claiming that more time is bring given to SPHE? And secondly, on what basis have you decided that that time is taken from STEM subjects?

Gaffer - have you children or kids you know that you suspect have been taught or shown stuff in school that you feel is inappropriate?

I have a 10 year old girl and a 12 year old boy - both are in national primary schools that are not mixed. My girl has had a basic/simple chat in school about their development, periods, what to expect as their bodies change.. nothing on sex yet but they have had good input on inappropriate behaviour by others, boundaries with regards to touching etc.

My boy is in 6th and they have had no sex education at all. I asked him recently and he reckons they get a 'mini-chat' this year, and a 'big-chat' next year in secondary school. Loving the terminology but that aside I would be critical of the lack of interaction by the schools on the topic if anything. We have had our own run through the lot so I am not waiting on the school to do it for me, but there must be plenty of kids in the class who are already experiencing puberty and haven't had the support at home.

Both have had endless input since creche about the different types of families, relationships etc, and both would be very aware and comfortable with the idea of people being straight, gay, trans etc - it is part of their vocabulary and they see absolutely nothing wrong with it as they have no experience of anyone telling them it is. They haven't broached the idea of changing gender yet but I'll have that chat with them no bother when the query it.

I'm not sure you are on the right track with this one to say the least

I checked one of my kids timetable and it’s 80 mins a week, hardly a huge amount.

That 80 minutes could have been better utilised in telling the pesky little tykes about climate change, biodiversity loss, the death of the oceans and the collapse of modern civilisation, all of which will happen in the next 5-10 years.

Eddie Hobbs had a lady on his Youtibe channel who alleged that these controversial books are kept in the school and not taken home and kids are asked to comply with a 'class contract' not to inform parents about the content of these classes.
Also stem subjects are been downgraded to allow time for the wellness classes
I can't believe this is actually happening

Eddie Hobbs has spent 30 years presenting himself as a financial and political commentator when in actual fact hes an enormous moron looking for attention.
He blocked me recently

My crime was to respond to his wild tweet that
Marine le Pen had TAKEN THE ASSEMBLY

By laughing at him and ridiculing his tweet because it was a high vote in a first round and that the french system had a second round and she would be trounced in that and she had taken nothing.

He took offence to me accusing him of either not knowing how the french system works or was trying to generate online nonsense.

You cant believe this is happening because it fucking isnt

Thank you for that. Some evidence, at least, from one school. Matlock seems to expect her proclamations to be taken as evidence.
I believe the introduction of the sex education program for primary schools has been postponed due to push back due to what many consider age inappropriate content.
I have no objection to age appropriate sex education but I believe this gender ideology pushed by these NGOs is not something to be affirmed to kids at an age when they are trying to discover who they are and how they will deal with the world

No. I expect my actual real life experience of this issue as the parent of young children to be taken as evidence.

What school did this happen in?

Feel free to opt out.
