Let teachers get on with teaching

In the Times yesterday, Madeleine Teahan wrote on the pressures faced by school teachers who are called upon to fulfil an increasing set of roles "sex advisor; behaviour manager; dietician; counsellor and fitness instructor, to name a few." The article offers a different perspective on the proposals for compulsory sex education in schools.

See: Is sex education the responsibility of parents or teachers?

According to The Church, it is the responsibility of parents. An "Inalienable" right, we are told.
So, there we have it.

I have just removed my daugher from local authority sex ed classes, aged 9. It means I am now really unpopular with our Parish priest and our local head, when in fact, I could have been both their greatest allies.

C'est la vie.
