Why is it that teachers are expected to teach everything these days. Parents should be teaching them manners and sex education and leave the teachers to concentrate on the real teaching. Stop blaming teachers and start taking responsibility for your own children. We never had sex education so why should it be part of the curriculem now? |

Thanks, Bec, thought a thread of this nature would give some of our knowledgeable ones a chance to come up with some solutions to this awful threat to our world. But it soon slipped away unnoticed, Derek in France |

I think that decent sex education would help! When I was at school (4 years ago) there was virtually nothing. We had a biology lesson and that was pretty much it. It's down to parents, schools and other schemes to help. There is a town close to where I live that has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies. I'm not a parent and have no idea how difficult it is to raise children but I do know that I was raised to respect my body and to realise that having children is a blessing not a commodity! Sorry for the rant! becx |

Which comes first, debt or health. money is certainly important. I have just seen a small episode in a mans life who is HIV pos. Twenty years punishment so far and no respite for the future. AIDS programs run by governments are laughable, why should people beg for donations for their own health? Following the info that 30,000,000 HIV carriers, in African sub-Sahara, mainly women, will die in the next few years, followed rapidly by any offspring they have. There is a black man touring the cafes/bars in Paris giving lectures to black immigrants off his own back on AIDS, where in most cases these same immigrants have never even heard of this epidemic. I have no answer, perhaps some of our ne'er do wells should do some training and sent out into the world and learn a very hard lesson by giving instead of taking all the time. Its a difficult subject, but I'm sure you will have something to add, Derek in France PS on the lighter side, a french letter is known as a capote anglais!! |
