My name is Louise and i currently taking work placement as a social work student at a primary school. after reading all these entires i have strongly agreed with some people.
At this moment in time, this school is trying to educate their students about 'themselves'... but becuase of the policies of the Catholic Education Office, certain topics are not allowed to be spoken about in class. This is ridiculous... the grade 5/6's are embarking on the transition into high school and they are going into a new world without knowing the basics of 'sex'.
i feel sorry for these children as they will be totally shocked once they finally learn about 'sex'. I feel that the school and the Catholic system is trying to hide the children away from the truths of our society, that they are trying to protect these children from the horrors of the real world.
Sex education in schools is a must! i can only imagine what these kids are going to grow up learning and what they learn... how on earth it will affect them...
