Sex education ….. why aren’t we taught about self pleasure gay relationships and sex between MM and FF .

I think it’s often taught very clinically rather than as a healthy fun part of your life if you chose to have sex !

Don’t get me started on feminism not being taught In school I will be here all day !

I also think that things like self esteem/awareness should be taught along with personal safety especially in this day and age god I sound old.

Don’t get me wrong academia has its place but there’s so many more life skills that could be being taught education can come later in life when you go to higher education. I’ve been to uni and seen that some of the freshers didn’t even know how to cook. It’s shocking.

I'd add critical thinking and problem solving. Students just want the answers and have lost the ability to think.

It isn't the school's job to teach young people life skills as such. I think parents need to step up and take some real responsibility for their kids. Schools are not the only place children learn.

Agreed but part of children attending school is learning social skills and social interaction. With out sounding like a grumpy old git, you can see them all sitting in groups, or walking down the street not saying a word to each other being too busy on their phones.

We work with young people and it is astonishing how they mostly lack any form of social skills.

That's true, but parents themselves can be limited in what they know. For my example, my Mum can make killer Indian food but like many other Indians, it can lead to heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure etc when consumed every day. I had learn a lot of my half-decent diet by myself because I took an interest in it and wanted to make that change which I can then try to teach too.

Almost everything is not taught at school; it is not an educative process, but an exercise in one way indoctrination, and passive unquestioning obedience.

That isn't the school's fault! I'm pretty sure most kids aren't allowed phones in school... I refer you to my previous comment

Morality - as a science.

Geoffry Sachs (economist) talks about this when applied to businesses. I think it would go a long way in making the world a better place.

How to learn from failure

Healthy diet and exercise

And I think fundamentally considering different approaches to learning and intelligence beyond the good worker bee academic route. And I say this as someone who found academic learning quite easy. But I saw people who in many ways were far smarter than me labelled as failures because they didn't think or learn in the same way.

AHH yeah over here they usually learn basic baking, stuff like scones, biscuits etc. Then pizza, spal bol, curries etc. They stink the whole gaff out sometimes.

About the much wider range of relationships that are possible, about being poly amorous or consensual non monogamy. As someone else said,'emotional intelligence'

Basically showing them much broader horizons to help them be able to be there individual selves.

That's very useful on the cooking front. We do home EC here but it's an optional subject and tends not to be very popular from my memory.

Whilst most schools ( certainly the ones we have dealt with) do have a no phones out in class policy, kids are allowed to have them in school and therefore, kids being kids, will tend to use them. Even if it is only during break times etc. but they do so rather than actually have face to face verbal conversation. Life skills and social skills are part of the reason it is so important in most professionals eyes for young people to attend school. Math English and science are all very well but avoiding being socially inept is also important in life.

Sex education when I was in year 8 was this is a tampon, this is a condom, here’s a video of a woman giving birth and then a talk about STIs

Nothing about same sex relationships, female masturbation (male was slightly mentioned but whenever anyone mentioned female masturbation it meant you were disgusting and weird) and I didn’t actually know how to HAVE sex (up until I was 16 I just thought the guy would slap his dick on your cunt and rub it up and down your flaps... didn’t even know it would go INSIDE )
