Day 1: Contrary to legislation a #Cambridgeshire school has responded “it is not viable to provide copies of all curriculum materials to parents” to being asked to share resources.
Day 2: Again a refusal to share materials with parents on request, this time school in north of England. ‘Copyright’ was given as the excuse this time. As has been confirmed in today’s #RSEDebate this is incorrect.
Day 3: A school in the south of England has invited the school of sexuality in to discuss pleasure & make playdough vaginas with year 8 girls. They are denying to parents that they have the right to withdraw their children from these lessons. #SafeguardingFail #RSEDebate #PSHE
Day 4: Again south of England a school arranged a dress up for #pride Day & bring in donations for the controversial educate & celebrate charity, led by the even more controversial Peter Tatchell. Yr 8’a were seen wearing cats ears and saying they were furries. #SafeguardingFail
Day 5: A primary school in England told small children men can have babies too. They have not even responded to parental emails of complaint. #SafeguardingFail #PSHEPeeps #PrimaryRocks
Day 6: School in south of England has organised a residential for yr 9’s with mixed sex overnight accommodation. Again ignoring parental complaints. #SafeguardingFail #edutwitter #WomenEd
Day 7: Again south of England (they’re not doing well this week) a college thinks they have the right to refuse to correspond with parents of a 16 year old, bizarrely they also think they can refuse to take a formal complaint about this undermining of Parental responsibility.
Sly Sez:
When I was 11 years old, my art teacher was one of the instructors for the health education program.
She did not have us make play-doh vaginas. We discussed menstruation in a very sensible, clinical fashion. We discussed pregnancy. We also discussed how boys might try to pressure us into sex and that it was our right to say no if we weren't ready. We discussed contraception. Everything was quite age-appropriate, and I think we all benefited from it.
I told the other girls about my second cousin's molar pregnancy (I didn't know that's what it was called at the time) and how she had to get a hysterectomy. There was no discussion of how "men can have periods" or how "people with vaginas can get pregnant if they have sex with people with penises." It was very common sense.
We have regressed since 1976 and been transported to Crazy World.
