If they didn't know what sex was and they were a couple I think it'd be best if they continue thinking the stork will visit them.

FYI: This thread is dumb.

Quite, when you start insulting/calling names, you lose the discussion

And I don't agree with you on the sex part Sporky, but I'm too lazy to create a new discussion. So mééééh.

Heh. Maybe you're right. Not sure if they would be furthering human evolution by breeding :lol:

If public schools are bad, what about private schools?

People insult my intelligence, call me stupid in a round-about way, I call them names. And Mr. Matt, your intelligence has already been proven by you accusing me of lying about my education (when I really have no reason to lie about it), and comparing me to a 10 year old who says he has a Lexus (or whatever), and "bashing" homeschooling even when you have no clue what it's like (cuz you've never been homeschooled)...never mind major generalizations...

hehe, I'm to lazy to start a thread too...becides, I think there already is one.


EDIT: Da-Ko, like I said, it depends on the school. not all public schools are "bad."

Private schools are really good, cause most teachers actually care and actually work, but they are really expensive, really really expensive.

I shall refrain from picking apart all of everyones posts.

As for Sex-ed, it is fine where it is. It stops accidental buggery for a start, and I also have so far got no-one preganant.

At my school, over the past 5 years and 2000 people, no-one has suffered a teenage pregnancy. And we have a load of lesser able people in our school.

Generally people aren't held back by those of a lower ability, because grouping is done via ability.

Interesting, a pity its pure bullshit.
My parents insisted I learn about other religions I even had to read the bible (what a waste of time that was) and the history of other people's cultures we take trips abroad and learn a little bit of the language I would say it's much more diverse than if I went to school.

RS is a valuable lesson. As an atheist, it allows you to explore other peoples views and thus appreciate them. If you think its BS then you've had a poor education as far as that goes.

People are state certified to drive, but not all of them should be allowed behind a wheel, they might run a kid over and so might a teacher run a kids education over.

The vast majoraity of people learn to drive. Not many of them go on from school to college and then to Uni just to learn how to navigate the M69 at night in a traffic jam.
Teachers recieve help to make sure they know what they are doing. If they don't they get fired.

I would question the value of this training when they are chained to the national curriculum.

Erm, nope. They are not 'chained' to the NC, it just dictates what is to be taught, not how to. It also allows room for embellishment. We get alot of A-Level stuff thrown in with ou work and the vast majoraity of teachers exceed what they are told they must teach.

As for the drugs issue, I have friends who do weed, I have been with them whilst they have being doing, and I have no desire to do so myself. The person knows its wrong, but is only doing it 'to see what its like'. If he doesnt stop soon, he knows we will make him stop.

I

hated my peers whilst I was at school, all they did was attack and bully me, I got into more than one fight without taking any hostile action other than to defend myself, (after all these years I still dont know where that last punch came from) and I don't fancy repeating the experience but I know I would fight if attacked and probably make a better job of it than last time.

If you look in my profile my hobby is mountain biking. I think I could defend myself pretty well. I have only got in one fight, with are neighbors kid. And I won .

But, you see...teachers as TOLD what to teach. In other words they have to teach one side. Like with evolution, they're ONLY allowed to teach evolution in schools (that, by the way, is why most people believe evolution, they've never heard the other side). While if you are homeschooled, you can learn the side of evolution, and the side of creation, two scientific view-points, and make a descision for yourself which one you believe...
