Suggesting that a child of 6 will 'lose their innocence' by knowing the names for their body parts is, in my mind, absurd.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-1564209513798542802015-09-10T14:05:28.781-04:002015-09-10T14:05:28.781-04:00Can you comment on this Dave?

I will not likely voice any opinion on the matter in that we are no longer in Ontario, but still have family and friends, including teachers, in Toronto.

Counter arguments in the line of ...Very well said.<br /><br />Counter arguments in the line of "the sky will fall" are a regular occurrence in debates about empowering people.<br /><br />As you nailed it perfectly, there's a power shift.<br /><br />Which makes the whole argument "the sky will fall" questionable in itself because there is a "win-lose" dynamic here. If there's a power shift, that means the lack of powers of some people is a important fuel to the powers of others.<br /><br />While no one can deny you can't always put the well-being of others above your own, making the well-being of some people a priority even if at the cost of the well-being of others needs to be very well explained and justified.<br /><br />Indeed, I fail to see any valid reason as to why this is good for our societies.Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-6858154770162589442015-09-09T14:55:26.055-04:002015-09-09T14:55:26.055-04:00Yes, the images given in the media are often crass...Yes, the images given in the media are often crass and altered informations often only for convenience or sales reasons.<br /><br />Real life is different. And it is good if you are able not only to talk about sex but also see the differnce between the media-images and real life. I am grateful that I learned to love myself more. <br /><br />Or as Buz Luhrman said it in his song "...do not read beauty magazines, because they will only make you feel ugly...."<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-90689207258602128162015-09-09T11:42:34.846-04:002015-09-09T11:42:34.846-04:00I am a teacher and the new curriculum is long over...I am a teacher and the new curriculum is long overdue and welcomed.
