But any old bugger can have kids. Shouldn’t basic parenting skills be taught in schools ? Not everyone is a natural parent.
Yeah great, encourage even more underaged kids to get knocked up by some chav who will dump them and leave them alone without a future.
We should be teaching kids how to keep their legs closed, not how to spread them.
Actually TT – there is ways that it can be done to put girls off getting pregnant so early.
I’ve heard of places using ‘realistic dolls’ they are just like babies and are programmed to cry, need fed and changed and cry some more. The teenagers have to look after them for a certain length of time .
The aim is to realise just how much hard work looking after a baby is – I think a programme like that should be run at every school :D
