Ontario Fails the Public School System
Saturday May 1, 2010
Last week, I heard on the radio that the Ontario School System was introducing a new sexual health education curriculum. This new program, which covers grades one all the way to junior high, has been in the works for two years. It includes, among many other things, basic health education in grade one, mainly learning the proper names for all the body parts, including sex organs. In grade three,...
Is It Addiction, Is It Self-Help, or Is It Just Schadenfreude?
Wednesday March 31, 2010
In searching my usual spots for new sexual health news, I came across this article from women's health . Yet again, another angle, another spin, another reason to write about Tiger Woods.
