Good grief. What will be next? This is a very controversial idea (no kidding) in a land know for prudishness about sex. Now they are planning on teaching kids as young as 5 about sex. Britain has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in Europe so they are bringing sex education to all schools in England, including kindergartens. Frankly I think they are all goofy.
Even France, Holland and China already require sex education, but few places there demand that it be introduced at such a young age. I think they have it backward. When there was no sex education at all and they let people grow up and learn naturally, there was a whole lot less pregnancies and promiscuous sex than there is now. Now the younger they teach them, the sooner they choose to experiment, causing younger and younger pregnancies.
They feel that it is vital that this information doesn't come from playground rumor or the mixed messages from the media about sex. Schools Minister Jim Knight announced that sex education would be added to the national curriculum. If every movie you see didn't have the couple meet, and in less than 5 minutes they are in bed, perhaps that would have cut down on younger and younger sex. Not only that but Hollywood and other movie makers make it so glamourous that the kids want to try it and you have to be an acrobat or contortionist to perform some of the sex acts you see on PG TV. Who is kidding who? But it is too little too late, in my opinion. The world is obsessed with sex.
