Do you think the sex education text prescribed by the Ministry of Education was appropriate for grades 7-9 students?

The sex education text prescribed is disgusting!

Yes! Students are having sex from they enter grade 7. It's time to stop turning a blind eye to the situation to please the masses.

It's called 'educating' so they will eventually learn about it. So why not learn of it the right way.

I think the children should have sex education, but some of what I read in the paper is inappropriate.

Since they're having sex very young, they need to know the facts - ALL of them - before they have sex.

The 'text' is actually a curriculum guide.

That text should have been left for the older grades. Believe it or not, there are ways of having appropriate sex ed talks.
