Is this really happening?

I came across the article above and could not believe what I was reading. Honestly what is going on in 'education' in the UK.
Thank goodness my two boys 4 and 10 attend small village schools here in the Dordogne.....reminiscent of local schools in the UK in the 50's. They are taught correctly, go on discovery outings to local attractions and landmarks, their 3-course lunches costs me €2.50 a day each - cooked on the premises, fresh food with many bio items...none of this chips and beans rubbish.

I really don't know what could turn the tide back in the UK.

Another article designed to wind up the elderly. Do you really think 9 year olds were told to do what the headline suggests?

...and as for 'winding up the elderly' I would have thought any parent of whatever age should be appalled.

Nothing can turn back the clock while over 70% of the population don't even know what day of the week it is. I'm so glad all of my kids are already out of here, as it makes watching the country turn to shit more palatable. I do feel sorry for those who are left though, as they will never experience the life that their parents once had, and amazingly some parents are even cheering it on.

SO..you are in denial. I think many people/newspapers would leave themselves open to litigation if not true.

Why do you deny this as being Toryism?....I am sure you can read the same in Labour led newspapers.

Re: Is this really happening?

No

It begs the question then as to what good IPSO are if the Daily Mail can get away with publishing blatant lies.

There really should be solid regulation to prevent this kind of thing.

I doubt you'd read it in Labour papers or even Tory broadsheets like the Times. It's part of the culture wars campaign. I'm no child psychologist so I can't tell you what's right or wrong how children should be taught sex education.

However this argument has been raging since I was a child. I remember for years the argument for sex education in schools was that many children only learn about these things from their peers in the playground and can sometimes be traumatized by myths to the extent it can cause psychological problems.

My argument is that the Daily Mail are only running this story to stir things up and I doubt any of their teachers have professional knowledge how to teach children sex education. Isn't it far better children learn these facts of life in an authoritative safe environment rather than be exposed to lies and exploitation elsewhere?

Re: Is this really happening?

And do you think there is?

No.

That’s my point.
There is way too much disinformation out there and there should be serious consequences for publishing lies.

Absolutely true, I agree entirely
