Picked up an inter-branch loan today; North Toronto seems to have a stranglehold on the most interesting DVDs, so I had Eight Hours Don't Make a Day shipped to my branch. I guess it's only city to city that's affected (something I did use once).

Do parents have any idea that at least half the teachers who handle health--at least anyone up to grade 6--cover the "Human Development and Sexual Health" component of the curriculum in one or two lessons? All this fighting is over approximately 80 minutes of class time.
