Sex education left a lasting impact on myself as a 9 year old, and it was a negative experience.
Without prompting, my children have come home discussing worse frustrations than I had as a young person. It leaves them feeling deeply unsettled and uncomfortable, that from a non-religious point of view can be considered detrimental to a young mind.
Their brains and bodies have not developed to the point that they have even considered thinking about sex, let alone sexual preference.
On another note, bringing up topics like this to young minds is a form of psychological nudging. It should be up to a child to pick their direction in life without a school unintentionally nudging a child into a sexuality they may not have developed naturally.
As a parent who cares about academic performance, I see this as a distraction from the schools core responsibilities.
It is not a teachers job to talk to my pre-pubescent child about sexuality. To avoid bullying of the LGBTQ+ community and/or any other group, please feel free to guide my children on the values of respect, empathy and appreciation for others without using labels.
Scott supported: Age-appropriate LGBTQ+ and sex education in our school!As a parent of an 8-year-old girl and 4 year old boy, I believe that the focus in primary education should be on essential life skills such as self-development, financial literacy, and, in the context of an Anglican school, a strong foundation in faith. While inclusivity and respect for all individuals are important, the normalization of topics such as gender identity and sexuality at such a young age is premature and potentially confusing. Our children deserve age-appropriate education that prioritizes their personal growth, safety, and well-being without introducing complex social issues that may not align with the values and developmental readiness of primary-aged students.
Will supported: Age-appropriate LGBTQ+ and sex education in our school!It is family violence and impacts the most vulnerable-our children. It robs them of the childhood that they deserve with long term irreversible psychological impacts. My children were thriving post separation until the psychological abuse took hold. I saved myself but unfortunately I can’t save my children.
Di supported: Justice for Children: Criminalise Psychological, emotional & Coercive Control AbuseYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
