We went on to see materials.
The children have to label a girl and a boy. Whole body, outline picture standing upright facing forward. They have to label fingers etc. And then penis, vagina and clitoris.
I think they should label a 'vulva' and be done with it. They don't teach that term at all. You cannot see a vagina or clitoris as the girl is standing upright.
They made a big fuss about needing to teach the correct scientific language. But it isn't.
I mentioned this and the teacher said they should draw arrows indicating the region.
(Body parts is the extent of the topic this year so they don't conver the act of sex or anything that would clarify the bits being between a woman's legs)
