MissMeiya:

Do you think anyone here is foolish enough to follow your argument that sex education is about teaching children how to have sex?

This tells me you are a liar. Why didn't you give a straight answer. Or must I type 'mechanics of sex' to please a MissMeiya who bothers over every single typo.

MissMeiya: Let me quote myself, since it seems you like to block your eyes and ears to what you don't want.

On the contrary; I'm good at tolerating nonsense; like the one you're spewing out.

Miss Meiya: You forgot that I listed what sex education entails. I ACTUALLY took the time to list it in detail. And you QUOTED me to AGREE with me. But now, in the name of cursing the West, you want to willfully misrepresent what sex education actually is. Or is it misplaced pride? Whatever the case, I wash my hands of it, as I said earlier.

Not my business.

And I backtracked saying I made a mistake concerning the last item on your list; the initial two being acceptable. I took the time to briefly explain my mistake. I am not shy or proud or scared of acknowledging errors, especially when clarified. In fact I was about to apologize until I noted you SUGGESTED they teach them how to wear condoms; that ratted you out. I wouldn't want to curse every white person I see, only those whose ideology I find disgusting, but you yourself know that not everyone agrees with what you have stated. oreso, you can't deny that alternative lifestyles are being taught to kids as normal in the sex education class. Find another fool please.

MissMeiya:

Let me know how that works out.

I, personally, would not be happy living in a society where we have to cross our fingers and hope parents are giving their children correct and accurate information. Because when those ill-informed children grow up, they will be unwitting dangers to themselves and to society. And then you will expect them to educate their children?

As much as African society is supposed to be a community-oriented one, this approach to sex education (and education in general) is very individualistic. As long as your child is educated, it doesn't matter if everyone else's child is not? But think about the effects of an uneducated population.

Public education is everyone's business. It affects everyone.


Then you really don't know what sex education is. You cannot force a parent to teach their child anything. The parents have rights also. You can educate the parent but you cannot force your idea down their throat. In an ideal world all parents would but we don't live in an ideal world. Teaching the reproductory system as is done in Nigeria covers the basics. That's good enough from the school. Teaching 10 year olds about birth control and sexual orientation in my opinion is irresponsible. Many public schools do not think so. I will sue the pants off any school that teaches my child anything that was not approved by the board. Both school and teacher would have their day in court..

Tell me where they do that. Go ahead. Give examples and proof that that is "what sex education is".

Many public schools do not think so. I will sue the pants off any school that teaches my child anything that was not approved by the board. Both school and teacher would have their day in court..
And do you know what? Parents are given a paper to sign, that lists what their child will be taught. And if they don't sign, their child is excused. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how rarely that occurs. Because it seems the curriculum doesn't involve "teaching 10 year olds about birth control". Shocking, right?

Thank you. Even the freaking porn they make was accessible to me in my early teens; how much more a kid over there. Now you are suggesting that teens should learn how to wear condoms. Even without teaching me, I tried on condoms I saw in hotels my parents took me too. Lucky for me I didn't go further, some of my friends did. Teach practical skills in areas likke poetry, programming (which Seun needs). The fool is thinking of condoms and hiding behind 'they are infections'. The ads on condoms is more than enough for kids please. Don't teach them in the class.
Re: Who's Responsibility Is It To Teach Sex Education? Parents Or Schools? by Nobody: 8:05pm On Sep 26, 2014
At the end of the day, if the child suffers from lack of adequate sex education,(as in if your 14yr old child get belle) I would blame the parents.

It is your job as a parent to have 'the talk' with your child.

Although, I do cosign the fact that schools should be encouraged to teach sex education, which I am sure they already do.

I did my high school in Nigeria, so this is not a western thing.

This is what happened.

I listed what is actually taught in sex education in the evil West, aka Sodom & Gomorrah. You, unfortunately, not realizing this, agreed and added "not like what they teach in 'The West'" , until I revealed that "The West" apparently doesn't teach the mechanics of doggy-style and how to perform home abortions, like you believed, but actually what I stated. So, you backtracked, in an attempt to twist my original words to suit your ill-informed view of the world.

No, it's not a Western thing. Even in the past, I'm sure from what I was taught by my mum that some parents did have 'd talk'. But more importantly they assigned them to skills based on their age grade. Pesin dey concerned about wearing condoms. Ode. The thing funny sef. Maybe dey go make class on how to use Nokia phone.

Lol. You are so two-faced, and a liar to boot.

The things you are claiming you don't have a problem with are what I actually stated. And then you made something up and pretended I said it and now you won't stop repeating the lie.

Thank you. Guess who brought up the West, and the idea that they only teach sex education there? I certainly never mentioned it until I was quoted, with the words "the West, the West, the West".

It is as much true of the West as it is of Nigeria. Nigerians don't pretend NOT to be corrupt. In fact, they overstate it.

[quote author=MissMeiya] Not my business. Continue in your delusions.
If you were to be honest you would have detailed what is being taught under 'mechanics of sex', I was initially even thinking it was teaching copulation takes place mechanically. But the you mentioned something on condoms and your deceit found you out.

I answered your last paragraph many posts ago. Schools can teach what is on the curriculum. Both public and private. Parents can influence what goes in that curriculum. Especially in private schools. In fact there are private schools where it is a violation of school policy to do that.


As for the other part you will have to do your own research. In the US, there are studies that even suggest that we should teach 5 year olds sex education. I am not telling you what seems to be right. I am telling you what is really happening. Children in grade school(public schools) have been taught about having two daddies and two mommies. For some communities it is not a big deal to go in depth with that kind of education. That is why many patents would rather live in a run down, expensive home to put their children in a school district that is more conservative. Heck parents move out of state for the same reason. There are just certain things that are 100% the responsibility of parents. Children should have age appropriate sex education and parents should be educated on why that is important. The school should not have the right to decide what my child should know about sex.

Smh. You are telling me what is actually happening. How do you know this, because you read it on the Internet? Or did you actually attend school in the US and have seen this with your own eyes? I'm actually shaking my head that you wrote that. I had a different impression of you, but it seems my memory had failed me.
