Isn't it Roz Ward who has admitted it wasn't about anti-bullying but about supporting gender and sexual diversity?



I honestly have no idea but when I was a parent of kids at a state school I removed them from religious education. Every subject that is not core ...


Define "core".



I suspect one of your pedantic setups but... Schools should be aimed at Math, Science, Language, History.

Actually, for the people that think anything outside of the core subjects should be taught at school, consider why you hold those opinions and let us know what/why they are.

My kids went to a christian school, had crap put in their heads, I flushed it when they came home. The home will always override what is taught in school. The home is where "non core" subjects find their mark.



No. I think much of school is about socialisation.

I want my kids to learn life skills at school.

I will work at home with my kids through everything they have been introduced to. Be that academically or socially.

For instance, i think they should teach you how to do a tax return at school ... navigate bureaucracy ... read contracts. These are things that bugger people up f their parents don't show them.

And sex-ed has always been part of schools. Otherwise they're going to have some big questions in biology, yes?

Why do you say 'math'?

Do you think it's trendy to sound American?

And, you didn't answer: do you call statistics 'stat'?

School is not the place for socialising of kids. It's one of the worst places for it.
Socialising a child takes a tribe, all ages, from the infants they look after to the children they rest on their knees, to grey haired children, their elders. Peers, are the worst influences on a child, it takes the input of a range of aged people for the child to make reasonable decisions.

I strongly disagree. Children should learn how to navigate all sorts of different kinds of people.

How else to test the values you and the tribe instil in them so they know they mean something and can represent them?

Or you pick a really good school and it comes with a tribe.

I thought you would. My statements are based on what I have done, how humans lived in the past, how things were handed down.

My children were never sent off, they were invited to the adults table when we were taking crap, to put their two bob in. They were never excluded, they could say what they wanted and though they did at times, they mostly listened. It happened at home.

Same with my kids. Always treated with the same respect shown any adult and always included and taken everywhere.

But i can't sing the praises of the school i picked for my kids enough.

Then why do you think it's the schools job? Our network of friends and their influence in discussions the kids sat in on carried much more weight that what was taught at school, just as I disabused them of bible crap when hey brought it home.

I didn't say it was the school's job.

But are you seriously placing society's overall health in the hands of parents alone? Do you know how much crap is out there? Not to mention that a concerted effort needs to be put in regards to the  internet .. for a number of reasons.

Half the time, teachers are correcting bad information the kids have picked up along the way.

I'm placing what kids will learn, no matter what the school teaches, in parents hands. If you can understand that, then what is taught at school is irrelevant. Hence my position of teaching what is factual at school and leaving the rest of the social crap to the tribe.

If you want to change the tribe, don't do it in school.

We do Cods. But it's interesting how we are expecting our kids to behave better than us.

Another reason why such lessons need be taught to school children? For fear they are not learning how to speak to and about people with respect from their parents?

How many little eyes peering over shoulders while parents and grandparents behave appallingly on social media?
