Exactly. It's a parents job. But it's also a child's job to be influenced by the world around her. I don't let my kids watch much TV and I refuse to let them have guns for toys. But they still had shooting games and Hinda wants to watch the power puff girls movie (No way in hell). Both children know the difference between a boy and a girl and for now that's quite enough. When the time or questions come, we'll teach them. Not before. Of course, being in a single sex school and a religious one at that goes far in restricting the need for Sex Ed for children and teens. They'll learn it when they need it, not before.
