Mum fuming as daughter, 11, set homework asking her to 'define hardcore pornography' (yes thats 11 years olf not even year 11)

www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-fuming-daughter-11-set-22049850

A teacher set this homework. On what planet did a professional working with children think this was ok?

Again, why do kids needs to know anything about porn beyond the fact that it exists and isn't legal for them to consume or appear in, so if anyone asks them to do either they should tell their parents or another trusted adults? It's the F is for Fisting pack all over again.

I fail to see how mentioning porn is in any way acceptable in a classroom of primary school-aged kids - or any kids for that matter? For what purpose?

What was their take on porn anyway - yay or nay? Were they telling the kids it is a good thing or a bad thing?

Was that Jonny Hunt or whatever his name was, of Respect Yourself/Warwickshire CC fame connected to this?

And of course there would be kids who would go fir extra credit and research etc

Yes I was thinking it was a bit reminiscent of the wcc stuff.

Wtf is that 'we didn't tell them to google so it should have been fine to ask them to define different porn genres' bullshit about?

I'm looking forward to being told what a prude I am for not wanting 11 year olds to be able to define porn genres accurately, so I can accurately define who are the creepy grooming weirdos.

I'm not sure I could make the distinction today. Back in the Good Old Days when there was no internet and we got our porn and fags from sweetshops, hardcore was the material with a more gyanecological focus.

But the character of porn has changed, specifically it has become heavily phallocentric like some primitive religion, so I'm guessing that you might need a protractor to measure the hardness of the core these days.

I would also like to think that they would mention in passing that even the softest of porn involving anyone under 18 is a crime.

Either one too scardey-cat to say something, or there's a more sinister reason.

Wouldnt a teacher read such pack very very carefully, knowing that these are kids they are dealing with?

To show porn to minors is abuse but to leave them to google is...just a simple oversight about safeguarding?

picklemewalnuts · 19/05/2020 17:23

Grasping at straws, did the teacher misunderstand the pack? Presumably the teachers were supposed to consider what those terms meant, in order to know more than the kids and understand what children are exposed to. Like the graphic information in the drug prevention packs. Not intended for children, but to inform the adults responsible for protecting the children.

Now assuming that's the case, what kind of teacher would misunderstand in that way?

Lordfrontpaw · 19/05/2020 17:22

Well, I would have been 10 in that class of 11-year-olds. TEN. 10. Just gone double figures.

Years away from boobs, boyfriends and periods. Still at Brownies. Too young to go to the local junior discos. Too young to go into town without an adult.

Too bloody young to learn about various flavours of porn.

I couldn't define hardcore pornography even now I don't think (not that I'd want to) - why on earth would an 11 year old need to? I was still climbing trees and wearing short socks at that age.

RedDogsBeg · 19/05/2020 17:16

How the hell does a child need to hear about pornography? This is purely the activists trying to get kids used to all this early.

Yes Lordfrontpaw, making children pliable, getting them used to, and accepting of all manner of sexual behaviour, including extreme forms, fucking marvellous, what could the end game of that possibly be.

Lordfrontpaw · 19/05/2020 17:12

I'm going to send a copy of my comms with JL (changing rooms) to the Baroness - I might add a wee link to that story for her to peruse. I get the impression that she is a Christan woman - this will do down especially badly then.

Time to call the head and drop a mention of the local paper.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 19/05/2020 17:12

If the intent was benign why would the kids need to know about the different types of porn? It's also interesting to speculate about why they thought the kids needed to know about trans porn in particular, but didn't need to know about the porn that focus on say race, so obviously the point being made can't have been a "this is an example of the ways in which porn adds to the stigmatization of minorities".

Yet another example of the softening up of and removal of children's boundaries, now let's just think who benefits from this? It most certainly is NOT the children.

I note the 'apology', weasel words but no commitment to remove the content of that particular homework or material which they will no doubt continue using and teaching. If this has, as claimed by the school, come from the DfE that is appalling and questions need to be asked of Government. Sounds like yet another case for the Safe Schools Alliance or Baroness Nicholson.

Datun · 19/05/2020 17:08

It's not appropriate to ask 11-year-olds anything about extreme pornography.

If the answer is well they are going to hear about it anyway, then then 'hearing about it anyway' needs to be addressed.

It's only when I discovered that transactivists were being consulted about women's rights, at the same time as advocating for extreme pornography that even I found out what it was actually about.

Lordfrontpaw · 19/05/2020 17:06

So the answer is the pack - that's wonderful.

Now hands up who is ok with their 10/11 years old being taught about prostitution, porn (extreme and otherwise...). I assume the answers are accurate and not 'when a lady and a man love each other very much...sometimes they like to bash each other with rubber hoses...)

We know various public sector organisations in Humberside are captured.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/05/2020 17:05

Given the comment about covering the Equality Act it will have been linked to the usual suspects in some way.

Yes, absolutely

Lordfrontpaw · 19/05/2020 17:04

A quick look at the website and it's not even one of those schools with its own little Rainbow Youth Army.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/05/2020 17:02

It doesn't sound like it given the Academy's reply, that the answers were to be found in the teaching materials provided, so no need for 11 year olds to google these terms.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 19/05/2020 17:01

As usual the questions are, who wrote this, who taught them that it was appropriate, and who approved it. Given the comment about covering the Equality Act it will have been linked to the usual suspects in some way.

Lordfrontpaw · 19/05/2020 17:01

I will ask some relatives who are teachers and see what they say (they also have kids that age). I can't see it being repeatable...
