This article was a perfect example of equally divided opinions of this topic. The doctors say it is damaging causing depression and anxiety later on in life.

What the article explained is that there is a level of education that is required to be taught. This was put in place by the national curriculum. There are certain subjects and areas our children have to be taught within the school system. Where does it say that this involves sexual intercourse? The children would start from age five learning about the body and life cycles and by age seven would be learning about intercourse. Many parents are outraged and looking for ways to meet this concerning issue head on. Parents are feeling that this type of teaching can lead their children to be faced with feelings they are not old enough to deal with responsibly.

I do think alternative learning is very important. Not everyone learns the same. But at the same time I don't really agree with homeschooling for a child's whole life. Yes homeschooling may be necessary sometimes but I am a strong believer of social interaction and think it is very important.

I think it is really cool that they are coming up with multiple forms of education. It makes it so much easier to learn, and it takes some of the anxiety out of the learning process when you can find the best way that fits your learning needs.
