Some children at her son's school (all in Reception class) were behaving badly in a literacy task and wrote down the words "bum" and "sex".
We don't feel this is normal for that age group and she is saddened that these terms have already, in a class of four and five year olds, started to be bandied about.
Obviously "bum" on its own is fine. "Sex" as a word or concept doesn't have a place in a reception classroom (as far as I can see) but if the boys in question were actually writing it as "bum sex" then I am horrified. Not from a homophobic stand point before I get shot down, but just from a place of wishing to prolong the innocence of childhood. Or are my feelings outdated and old fashioned? I just don't know what to make of it.
