That we’re reading this educational policy change in the newspapers and not from a professional teaching group tells you that this is simply a political manoeuvre.

These kids are already watching porn on their phones, you aren’t protecting them from anything by refusing to teach.

Even if this was an actual problem, which it isn’t, this is not the way to deal with it. Children ask all sorts of awkward questions, not answering their question is literally the worst way to deal with it. They’ll just ask the question more loudly in a very clear voice in the middle of a crowded Tesco. It’s best to just answer them and move on.

You can tell no Conservatives ever actually raised their own children.

Section 28 bullshit all over again. It didn’t help anything then, it won’t help anything now, it will just hurt people. Fuck’s sake, what is wrong with this shites?!

Because we all know 12 and 13 year olds never have sex. One study says nearly 3000 of them got pregnant between 2000 and 2007 but clearly immaculate conceptions all round.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
