To think the school are partly to blame?

Today my son (8) got into a scrape at school, they were getting changed after swimming and apparently the conversation moved to 'S-E-X' (to quote my son) and 'sexist ladies' and much hilarity. The boys started dancing around naked, singing 'Heyyy Sexy Lady' and at this point they were all busted- now they will all change in separate cubicles for this 'inappropriate behaviour'.

But- that song 'Gangnam Style' featuring that line 'hey Sexy lady' has been played at every school disco to date. Is it me, or is it a bit silly for them to suddenly take exception to the song they played to those boys? I know they also happened to be naked, but that's because of swimming, rather than them being weird

It sounds to me like a lot of parents looking to avoid responsibility. Modern parenting seems to implicitly and explicitly be all about 'rights' and no 'responsibilities'. They were being silly. They were told off. You (plural) think it's anyone but your fault.

Having the sex talk does not stop kids giggling or talking about it.

Dd is in secondary and some of them still find it all hilarious.

They would have got into trouble running round naked and thrusting to a nursery rhyme.

I don't get the 'sex talk' bit. Is that supposed to be completed by yr 3 these days? Confused bearing in mind some of then are still only seven. What could you tell a yr3 that would have wrapped up the :sex talk: by then anyway. More importantly stopped them from laughing?
I'm 44 and still think it amusing at times.

Maybe school discos are the problem.
