Would you want a teacher to talk bondage with your 11 year old?


An Italian primary school teacher did exactly that. She also discussed sadomasochism and genital piercings with 11 year old children during a sex education class. This is why sex education should be taught by parents, not school teachers. Parents have a much better idea of the maturity level of their children. While it is true some parents may lack the knowledge or skill to properly teach sex education, that is a better argument for adult education than sex education in the classroom for children.
Teacher talked bondage with 11-year-olds

NOVARA, Italy, March 30 (UPI) -- Parents are pushing an Italian primary school to fire a teacher after she discussed genital piercing with 11-year-olds during a sex education lecture.

Vincenzo Guarino, headmaster of the school in the northern Italian city of Novara, said the teacher displayed "serious naivety" when she failed to realize that "certain subjects and language can be used in a class of 15-year-olds but not 11-year-olds," ANSA, the Italian news service, reported Monday.

"It's true that she was only answering questions but there are ways of discussing these things," Guarino said to ANSA.

Parents said the teacher discussed subjects with the students including bondage, sadomasochism and genital piercings after a discussion about masturbation was taken off-subject.
