After I listened to this conversation , I like the idea of the government shouldn't be telling parents what age appropriate for their children. For me, I believe parents should teach their children the main issues. e.x. religion, sex, tradition ... etc. That is because we live in a multi culture community and each culture has its own thoughts.
Haneen - Lindsay told me that the reason we couldn't get a copy of the actual curriculum document from the Ministry of Education website is that that website hasn't been working since Saturday. We'll keep trying and hopefully will have a copy to look at on Wednesday. Thank you for your patience today! Lisa
ReplyDeleteI think it's too early for elementary school students to have these curriculum. they put many adult things into children's mind.Children is pure and innocent, although sometimes they may have some questions or curiosity about normal sex.For many things included in the curriculum, if no adult mention them to children, children won't think about them until they grow up.it seem too crazy and weird for children to learn.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI don't like this interviewer because I think he is sensationalizing (over-dramatizing) his point, and I don't think he understands the sex education curriculum document.
ReplyDeleteAlso, he asks why the government doesn't write a 100-page document about math or spelling. The Ministry of Education has many documents on math, English, art, music, physics, etc. The interviewer's statement is very misleading, and forgive me, quite ignorant.
Your interview, Haneen, is much better because you discuss understandable parental concerns.
