Just spotted this gem. Can't wait for the comments

If you are a parent who leaves it up to the school system to teach your kid about sex, STD's and pregnancy, you have failed as a parent.

 

To further that, if you think denial, sheltering, or just saying "don't do it" will protect your kid, you have also failed as a parent.

Educate. Give them the honest information. Let them know the pros and cons, then allow them to make their own decisions freely, but make them deal with the consequences.

 

You want fail as a parent: any parent who gives their child a smart phone. You have now lost all control of what your child sees and hears. Maybe if kids couldn't surf porn at 8 years old, we wouldn't have problems like this.

 

What about a smatphone?

 

do we really need to teach the lesson about correlation and causation again?

 

True, but that doesn't excuse the school of not offering real sex education, instead of some unrealistic abstinence only crap. Just another example of why we need separation of church and state.

 

It's not the schools job, or the governments job to raise children. While some form of sex education is better than none, it is a personal conversation parents should be having with their kids. Blaming the school is about as ignorant as you can get.

 

Thank you!

 

um you're naive if you think parents, who care, cant see whats on their kids phone. Text messages, breakups, makeups, party plans, pictures, etc.
Thanks Apple cloud!

 

Except that the schools keep trying to insert themselves into the activity. Of course in the meantime the record on the education of reading, writing and arithmetic continues to fall. Though the indoctrination on global warming is going well.

 

Saw this yesterday and was struck by what a childish hit piece it was.
No useful information at all.

Did you know that the highest rates of syphilis are found in California, with New York tied for second? Two bastions of liberalism seething with STDs, it seems.

I am naive. I don't have a smart phone and wouldn't allow my children to have one either.

 

Ignorant of what?

I agree that parents have a responsibility to raise their children, but many fall short to varying degrees. This is even more true where sex education was concerned. Many otherwise good parents fail miserably where this is concerned, so real fact based sex education in schools is a good thing.

 

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that these states contain the highest-density large populations in the country?

 

I'll rephrase so you can better understand. You blamed the school, this makes you an idiot.

Whatever sex Ed program that the schools want to teach is fantastic, as long as that decision is agreed upon by the parents and the school board. If, as a parent, you can't take an hour out of your life to explain the birds and the bees and the consequences of making piss poor decisions, how exactly are you "otherwise a good parent"? That's parenting 101.

 

You rephrased because you weren't using the word ignorant in the proper way. But I'm the idiot! Apparently you don't know the definition of otherwise either.

If abstinence teaching is their idea of sex Ed, no, that's not fantastic.

 

That's not your decision to make genius. What part of that do you not grasp?
