Is every father, every mother capable of drawing human genital organs in a precise and well-documented manner and explaining how they work? Their levels of knowledge in biology/anatomy, their training, and their comfort in discussing the subject with their children vary greatly. Schools compensate for this by guaranteeing and disseminating a common, up-to-date and neutral knowledge base, without emotion. What do you yourself know, dear Kurt Indergand, about how the vestibular bulbs or the epididymides work, and can you immediately explain it to others whilst respecting their cognitive and emotional development? I cannot. I need the teaching skills of professionals. Everyone has their job. Are all parents able to state and explain the laws in force in Switzerland, particularly regarding consent, for example the sexual criminal law of 1 July 2024? And what this means in everyday life? Have a good day.

I've never understood why we entrust this to the State. Because there are two or three religious or esoteric cranks who think that children appear as if by magic? Big deal.

Parents have experienced romantic relationships, desire, discovery, disappointment, romantic break-ups. They know about contraceptive methods, having used them for a long time themselves (they're part of society now). Aren't they best placed to talk about this with their children? It's part of education, and school is not there to educate but to TEACH. Yet, sex EDUCATION is indeed education. Moreover, there are plenty of books that can help with the dialogue (hello Zep).

The excuse that children feel embarrassed with their parents is a false statist excuse. Like, they feel embarrassed in front of their parents, but in front of 25 pupils and a stranger (the facilitator), obviously they're super comfortable! Nonsense!

It's the parents' business, full stop!
