Ostrich Position: Sex, Schooling and Mystification - Softcover

(Sex is a minefield, and never more so than during adolescence. Yet in her work as a teacher of sex education, Carol Lee finds that amongst teachers, doctors, parents or politicians... the commonest attitude is the 'ostrich position' and this, she argues, is dangerous for us all. With warmth and humour, this book explains the fears we have about our own and our children's sexuality. Prejudice and lack of understanding are all around us. For the sake of the next and future generations we must remove our heads from the sand.
