I taught in an upper school so the pupils were 13 when they got to our school so it wasn't really relevant. I objected to teaching PHSE as I felt this should have been something that should be 'picked up' outside of school. However, I realise that some parents wouldn't pass on the best advice and information so it is a bit tricky - but if it is going to be done at secondary level it should be taught by a specialist teacher not by the form tutor.
I strongly resent the implication by the education sector that the vast majority of parents/careers are feckless half-wits who are not fit to raise children and that they can hi-jack large chunks of what brining up children is all about.

I think "moral guidance" should be left to parents-the first five years of a child's life is important. It depends what the authorities mean by "offering moral guidance" In primary schools it was often incorporated into discussions after an RE lesson on the parables etc. RE used to be a compulsory subject (in Scottish schools) but that has changed now we are multicultural-don't know what they call it now. In any case I think a good lesson in life is The Golden Rule-do as you would be done by.Teachers have enough on their curriculum already .Incidentally I read somewhere that history.geography and physics are going to have different titles-what next??
