"Schools will now be encouraged to customize their sexual education classes to fit the needs of different groups of students."

Truth is way stranger than fiction. Read this on everyone's favourite local newspaper today, gotta love these headlines.

"Schools will now be encouraged to customize their sexual education classes to fit the needs of different groups of students."

Gosh, CUSTOMIZED SEX EDUCATION, Sign me up man!

This I forsee could be way cooler than how McDonalds gives us such a wide variety of nutritious foods and their attendant options. Imagine if you will, striding up to your form teacher.

Yes, I would like the fellatio set with the doggy style sides and please upsize the fries.

wtf... what the hell do you mean by different groups of students? Being the good citizen I am however, I have decided in true consultant style to explore the possible methods and quantifible criteria to aid in this heroic quest to prevent the uninformed from learning more about sex while feeding the potentially sexually active ones more info in case they didn't know how to do it well enough. This is going to be one hell of an academic exercise...

Since we're probably thinking about minors entering Secondary School, a direct way is for a questionaire to be included in the PSLE exam. But as a nice value add, I would point out that this may be better sent to the people who know these Primary Schoolers best, their parents. After all, parents know their children best. I suggest slipping this into their report cards or having this conversation during the annual parent teacher meetings. Such as questionaire could be framed quite simply as follows:

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how skanky/freaky is your 12 year old child?
2. When do you expect your child to become sexually active? If your child is fat or in the gifted scheme you may skip this question.
3. Does your child have access to video recording equipment?
4. How good do you think your child is/or wants to be in bed?

Given our predilection as a society for standardised testing, a simple vocabulary test can supplement this questionaire for a more rigourous result. Primary schoolers can be put through a test in the vein of the SAT.

Following this first level of screening, the children can then be segregated in classes or categories based on their different needs and levels of understanding(buzzwords required so that the ministry people can understand). In anycase, one such category may be

Can Understand Most Words However Oblivious Regarding Etiquette
or C.U.M.W.H.O.R.E for short.

This label can be sewn on the uniforms of the students for easy identification by the teaching staff. Who can then tailor their level of instruction based on these special needs. My hairy ass!

Segregating students based on their sexual education needs is rubbish.
