<FONT size=2>Friends told me this debate was on news today - Can't find any news artices on it, must just have been discussion - not sure what channel here but:</FONT><FONT size=2>Should Homosexuality be taught in schools? </FONT><FONT size=2>Apparently there one guy - and one girl debating this. The man was arguing yes it should be (as he was Gay) and the women was really against it (obviously a homophobe too sitting as far away from him as she could).</FONT><FONT size=2>Her debate was lame saying that Schools shoukd teach peace, kindness etc etc well its not like School's teach us to kick one another๐๐but what a waste anyways....</FONT><FONT size=2>Obviously he was arguing for the motion. I can't remember his points since morning but basically i only remember he said that he learnt in the playground at school aged 7/8 what a lesbian was. That Kids should be educated in it rather than be told by parents its wrong etc etc. </FONT><FONT size=2>So your views? Should it be taught in schools - if yes from what age?</FONT><FONT size=2>Agreed that Kids do pick up these words/meanings and attitudes from school - but is it necessary to teach it? I am a bit confused anyways - whats to teach? I mean what to say either apart from definition? Ok you could do it in PSHE classes where you discuss matters/issues and debate/discuss them, but personally i don't care about homosexual people and i would not want to learn anything about it. I am not a homophobe but would rather not hear about it/what they are doingor see it - keep it behind closed doors. ๐</FONT><FONT size=2>Nice Views here shared by some</FONT>I know we have both Students and Parents here so i would love to hear from both sides. Parents would you rather teach your children and Students do you want to learn about it. If it was taught i am sure they were be huge outcry's from parents saying its wrong to teach it. Kids automatically pick up everything anyways so why teach it?
Interesting topic... In India teachers don't find time to teach ordinary stuff... ๐ . Generally ordinary school students will study the reproduction cycle of butterfly, then frog..may be upto 9th standard..then in 10th standard...these lessons about human reproduction...will be skipped by the teachers..even if they teach..they teach it very fast...Imagine folks who studied in missionaries...My biology teacher..who happened to be a nun ..skipped this lesson..so we all studied from text book itself... ๐ ....
This is the sorry state of affairs about normal things....wonder how...the extra syllabus about hetero..homo things are dealt...may be its not feasible...in ordinary hours alteast...may be folks need some extra hours ๐ ....
Cheers,
