INTENSIFY SEX ED!

A bit of news from UK...

Teenage pregnancies go UP (despite free contraception and sex education for five-year-olds)

"The number of teenage pregnancies leapt last year, despite all Labour's efforts to increase sex education and contraception among children and the young.

...The sudden rise may have inspired a series of new efforts by ministers to intensify sex education and persuade more girls to use contraception...

In October Schools Minister Jim Knight ordered that primary school pupils should for the first time have compulsory sex education from the age of five..."

Lets see, it's still not working so there is a need to further "intensify sex education". Right now sex education in Britain is already compulsory from the age of five. I say intensify it further - make it compulsory from the age of two! If that still won't work, from the age of one!!

Very funny. Socrates had a saying which we use in business process reengineering - If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

Insanity can be defined as doing the same things over and over (and even intensifying them) but expecting different results.

Haha. As they say, if the only tool you know is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
