北欧很激进。我老人家辛苦找到了dutch model。原来人家先进的教纲是between 12~15 year old.
I finally opened the huge PDF file about famous dutch model . I did not find the age of sex-orientation sex-diversity education of Holland. In this article which appraised the dutch model,
"This open talk is how some teachers in the Netherlands approach sexuality with students between 12 and 15 ye a rs old. S u bsidised by the Dutch gove rn m e n t ,the “L a n g l e ve de liefde”(“Long Live Love”) package wa s d e veloped in the late 1980s, when AI D S became recognised as a threatening health p r o b l e m . “A I D S was an impetus for sex educ ation in schools,” s ays Jo Reinders of Soab e s t ri j d i n g, the Dutch foundation for STD (sexually transmitted diseases) control,w h i c h d e veloped the package in consultation with c h u r c h e s , health officials and family planning organizat i o n s. “It forced teachers to become more explicit and to discuss norm s and values using a part i c i p at o ry approach.”
This paragraph obviously stated that their sex education (dutch model) is between 12~15 year old. Not 8. Maybe I missed some text. So, maybe you could provide me a more detailed instruction. It would be my pleasure to discuss science with you here. And this article did not discuss about sex oreintaiton/diversity neither, too radical.
Talk about the names of the body part, teach them the cycle of life, and that some family may have two moms or two dads. That's what is involved for the new curriculum for Grade 1-3. You can read it again in http://bbs.comefromchina.com/threads/1427644/page-2#post-9281649
Grade 1-3, means 6 - 9 year olds. So at age of 8, why would those be inappropriate for them to know?
In Grade 5, that's when they really go into details about scientifically how an egg gets fertilized and such. Grade 5 means age 11/12. Which is pretty in-line with the Dutch one, in my opinion. Especially given that some kids physically mature earlier nowadays.
