Title says it all, her dc is going into year 6, mine is going into year 5. Different schools though, if it matters. She warned me to check the sex ed material before they learn it as she was gutted when she heard how explicit it was, apparently many parents complained.

I'm not a prude, I'm happy for them to learn age appropriate stuff, eggs, sperm, erections, wet dreams etc but he's not a streetwise kid, he's so innocent and sweet I don't like the thought of him having to learn about extra bits like for example oral sex (or whatever she meant by explicit, we didn't discuss specifics) I've only just got him to stop drinking the bath water "because there's bottom germs in there" Confused

I'm a bit spooked, anyone with a year 6 or above child who can give me their experience with the module, please?

Sex and relationship education still isn't compulsory and will be very patchy.

mrstina not only do Scandinavian countries and sex ed blow your claims part, but if children are taught "below the waist and above the thigh is absolutely off limits to anyone but parents or a doctor in the presence of parents" then that is going to make any child being abused by their parent think that it is acceptable because they have been taught this by school.
