In my opinion this whole sex education program in schools is a waste of time. After nine pm switch on the TV in the UK and you can get all the sex education you need. I just don’t see where it is all leading to, because if the statistics are right and I don’t like statistics because of their obvious failure to be accurate. Since introduced many years ago, it has done damn all for the lowering of the boom in the UK of single mothers and some as young as 15.

I think with the attitude of most young people if you tell them that it is wrong to do something, they go and do it to see what the big deal is. It all comes back to the [wet paint, don’t touch theory] yes we have all been there. It is also my opinion that by advocating that sex before marriage is not right in a class room there will be the odd percent that had no thoughts of sex until it was advertised at that point. I don’t think any child needs a half hour or a one hour lesson for a teacher to say four words, [no sex before marriage] end of story. Children today can learn inadvertently more about sex in the playground than they could ever be taught in the classroom.

I don’t think today with the education standards that young men and women in our schools are stupid. They are more intelligent now that they were in my time at school but sex before marriage was not there then [well not heard of]. It is also my opinion that sex before marriage is more prevalent now because there are far more young people in the world. But sex before marriage is probably not a lot more now per thousand people than it was sixty years ago. I have four girls and the oldest 26, and not one of them has had this kind of education at school and not one has let me down. I think it is down to the moral standards my late wife and I educated them with at home.
