• I’m going to go on a limb and guess that the Catholic school system in Ontario is run by mostly laypeople and a few secular priests instead of one of the orders renowned for their teaching ministry, like the Jesuits.

      • There are four separate school systems in Ontario not including private schools. English public, English Catholic, French public, and French catholic.

        Can’t imagine how much waste there is in a system with four departments doing the same thing.

        There should be one school system with a French and English. No catholic influences at all.

    For a day in primary school I believed girls could get pregnant by touching them because DNA was transferred to touching skin

    That was thanks to badly designed primary school sex-ed videos that they made us watch in primary school that avoided mentioning the adult things

      When I was in school and we were doing sex ed one of the girls put up her hand and said, my sister does this. Which all the teachers look sort of awkward about. Later on I learnt that her sister was a prostitute and so, yeah, it was a relevant comment.

      Sort of awkward though that are 13-year-old is aware of it
