Pshe Alcohol

I think it should be the work of schools and parents.
I'm not sure in America or elsewhere, but in England we PSHE (personal, social and health education lessons) from school (from 11) and some primary schools have them (d about 4 / 5 years to 10/11) in the last school year. These lessons are there to provide information about those topics and others, without the inclusion of religious beliefs on them, so that the facts of what happens when taking part in these activities, how to protect yourself, etc. etc.
Parents should learn what they know about it as well (emphasis on knowledge), what we expect to see the children (do not take drugs, drinking age, the sex From the legal age. Or no sex before marriage, no alcohol etc.) and what they have done themselves honestly.

What do you think?

I think schools have the responsibility to teach children in Scotland, we have social education which is the same as PHSE.

But I think parents have a greater responisilility for the well-being of their children, they must ensure that their child is prepared.

Its a difficult question, because when the schools teach these things, they have always been complaints from parents because they think their child is too young, but the same parents were complaning that there was a lack of eduation if their teenage daughter is pregnant.

As the parents of five children (4 adults, 1 teen) I think that's the job of parents to educate their children about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and early sexual intercourse.

Schools must also teach, but the basics should already have been done by parents.

Let schools teach your children well or not, as parents we are always the first teachers of our children, they learn our morals, our values and it is up to us to teach them well, because schools can not .

I think this is the job of parents to teach their children what they need to know.i DONT like the fact that the state can intervene and say to my children, whatever their opinions are biast. especially in Catholic schhols they learn that sex is not for pleasure as for the creation of pro. when my daughters get to schhol high, I'll have learned so honest about the facts on all these issues

I think I should educate my children on all these subjects. The State did not influence my children on controversial topics. Schools should be better to focus on reading, writing and arithmetic, whereas the children are completely ignorant now days.

I agree with you 100%. I think schools and parents should take possession of these two types of questions.

I believe that children should learn that things are bad at a young age. if they do not know when they will eventually do them.

Here's a crazy proposal, but drugs, alcohol and sex?

I think it's the parent's job to teach these things - but many parents are not equipped to have this discussion so I can understand why the stage to help schools. I know many parents who are not comfortable talking about sex, and many parents who have never seen a drug and therefore thinks it's okay to just say "drugs are bad, do not do ". I will never forget watching a slideshow 7th year of people who chewed tobacco and their teeth and jaws were rotten. My parents never talked to me about the dangers of chewing tobacco, but they taught me about the dangers of alcohol. So while I think parents are the primary resource for teaching these things, I think schools are perfect to fill the gaps.

I think it must happen in both places. In public schools, I believe that discussions of sex should be limited to factual information, similar to learning how the heart and lungs work. Basic information on how STDs.
