We have streams at highschool (three levels, A-level university preparation to mainly vocational education) and this is a class of approximately 13 year olds at the vocational level.<br /><br />Of course talking and knowing about it doesn't mean that you have to practise it: it usually means that you are better prepared to decide wether you want to do something or not.dutchmarbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048826063539856005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210575587086373532.post-64966713689178256852009-05-08T08:55:00.000+07:002009-05-08T08:55:00.000+07:00Well, Ms. McCain has the "descent into irrelevance...Well, Ms. McCain has the "descent into irrelevance" part right, but her statement is otherwise largely incomprehensible.<br /><br />I do not think anyone in the parochial US of A is gonna be talkin' Kama Sutra anytime soon, LT. We could, however, get past our foolish silence on some very serious topics, like AIDS awareness, as you mention.<br /><br />We're not going to be handing out copies of the "The Story of O" (the other one), but we could inform students in health classes of how to protect themselves, when the time comes they do bump uglies. "Just Say No" is an abysmal failure. Something called biology gets in the way.<br /><br />In an ideal world, families would take care of their youngun's needs. We do not live in an ideal world.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839236994990699117noreply@blogger.com
