A mother is furious after her daughter, 8, was taught about erections, wet dreams and 'signs boys are in puberty' at her primary school
The woman said her daughter, 8, was upset when teachers showed pupils in her Year 4 class a video of a cartoon rocket launching and a volcano erupting, meant to show an erection and ejaculation.The mother, who has chosen to remain anonymous, told Mail Online: "I am very angry about this because I don’t want my eight-year-old daughter being taught about masturbation and wet dreams. It is far too young.
"I was stunned and didn’t know how to answer her at first. It is disgusting that this is taught in Year 4." The mother said she was shocked by the video, called 'Top signs boys are in puberty', because of its adult content and language.Picture: YouTube/Amaze She said: "The words used in the video include 'horny', 'sexual desires', 'masturbation' and 'erection'.
"I didn’t know if I was being old-fashioned, and I spoke to other parents who felt exactly the same way.She said she spoke to the school, Coleshill Primary in Birmingham, who agreed not to show the video any more, but said they would keep teaching children about puberty, which is compulsory for schools.
