no educational institution or any company at all employs people without referees as to your good behavior and character. with the level and standard of interviews given before employment, i doubt a teen mom can gain employment as a teacher without qualifications.

Cuddlemii:

Ok, noted. Some debaters also sent me an email about having a busy day tomorrow.
We will collate the scores from the judges while the discussion still continues. Thanks!

Sisi_Kill:
So what do we call her and who should be responsible for her child's upbringing?

Sisi_Kill:
Mavia1, studies have shown that not all adults who have babies are ready to be a parent. . . not to talk of a teenager. If she knew what she was doing, she won't be pregnant at 16. Won't we be indirectly asking for the circle ignorance to continue if we left the upbringing of her child to her alone?

Gudit:
If you would teach and understand her better, why send her to school to learn biology and anatomy when you are quite familiar with the female anatomy yourself?

Gudit: .
Don't categorise. They are all parents. there is nothing like sane or insane parents. once you are a parent, nobody wants to know if you are sane or insane

Gudit: let me help you understand why parents would trust a teacher: it is because they have one through years of training on how to understand children. the parents themselves were taught by teachers. everybody passed through a teacher. the president passed through a teacher. the doctor passed through a teacher. Obama passed through a teacher. we are all able to type here because our various teachers did their jobs.

Gudit:
Why do you think that in most schools, teachers are 2 in a class? and this teachers are of both sexes. one for the males, another for the females because Teachers are trained to deal with this issues. What do you expect of a father in a polygamous setting? If you cannot expect a trained and paid teacher to monitor 25 kids how do you expect a single polygamous father who is who is untrained to monitor his kids?

Gudit:

that is why they are to blame! it is disheartening to know that the people entrusted with the responsibility of educating this children about evil also partake in it.

Gudit:
The teachers are employed by the government and the government has control over the media. There is a link between these three. Teachers have meetings with the government over educational issues. Parents DON'T!

Gudit:
If the parents don't go out to search for money, how do you expect them to provide the basic needs of a child such as food, education? Of what use is intimate education to a hungry, malnourished and uneducated child?

Gudit: that is why i said"mandated" i never said that they all complied with that mandate.

Gudit:

A parent as defined by the Macmillian English Dictionary is a father or a mother. A father or a mother as defined by that same dictionary is a male or female parent. Looking at this definition, it can be seen that there is no special qualification needed to become a parent save for giving birth to a child. Therefore, what do we say about a 16 year old girl who by virtue of having given birth to a child is called a parent? Do we really think that she is well equipped to teach her child about sex? Having made the same mistake?

Gudit:

The society today seems to leave the whole training of the child to the parents forgetting that the child plays a major role in the society and may either impact positively or negatively. It was with this in mind that the goverment mandated that all children should be sent to school. It was also with this in mind that the American government under the leadership of President Reagan in 1981 passed the AFLA a bill passed to encourage the teaching of sex education in schools.

Gudit:
In conclusion, a brief look at the history of sex education shows that it was the inability of the parents to handle this role well that government introduced sex education in schools. According to the Kaiser report, 65 percent of parents believe that sex education should be taught in schools. If the parents felt they were well equipped to handle sexual issues themselves, they would not encourage sex education to be taught in schools.

Gudit:
Furthermore, most parents feel uncomfortable talking about this issues with their kids.
