Being cynical time. Schooling is weird these days, people are taught things younger and younger- I got sex education in year 5! I was 10 years old looking at a picture of a penis. If that hadn't been in a classroom I'm pretty sure that school nurse would be in prison. It was a complete waste of time because whenever 'penis' or 'sex' was mentioned, people just burst out laughing! No one really understood what was going on... Quite frankly, I just thought it was silly, we couldn't have sex for another 6 years, I didn't have tits yet and I thought a sanitary towel was something you'd wipe your hands on.
What else do you get taught at a young age? 'Careers advice'. Really? Yes. Apparently, children as young as 7 can get 'careers advice'. Can you imagine how that conversation would go? 'So, what do you want to be when you're older?' 'Dragon Slayer'! When I was 7, I didn't even know what 'career' meant and I thought that the teachers slept at school.
Personally, I think that people are taught serious things too early, and primary school should be kept fun. What's the point? By the time you're old enough to use your 'careers advice' and 'sex education', you probably will have forgotten it, since you were given it 5 years ago!
Don't hate me for being cynical, I can't help having occasional strops at society~
