Students are filling in the gaps of institutional SexualEducation by turning to SocialMedia to get answers. LetsStopAIDS PPofTO YXEsexualhealth SHORECentreWR – via healthing_ca SexEd SRHWeek
In 2015, after repealing the new elementary curriculum introduced in 2015, the Government of Ontario set up a hotline constituents could use to report elementary-school teachers who were deviating from the 1998 sex-ed curriculum — a curriculum that did not contain information on topics like sexting and social media.
“When we’re going in to teach sexual health in schools, it’s often the one hour of sexual health education those kids get the entire year,” says Pritchard. “That’s just not enough to really cover all of the nuance within the topic and really give all of the kids the information that they actually need.”While conversations and posts on social media can help fill in the gaps, the downside is that the onus is on the user to verify these posts against information provided by other verified accounts.
