Children definitely do what they see, and when it is such a taboo topic, they are going to see it as a taboo topic as well. I am in a mixed school. I have always been in a mixed school. It is such an important thing to be in a mixed school because you learn the foundations of gender in primary and secondary school. That is a foundation you are going to bring into college. I do not understand how people can go cold turkey from being constantly with one gender. You do not know anything about the other gender at that stage. It is just a complete lack of education. There is just not enough education at all in secondary school. If people are in TY, they might have the lucky opportunity to do a module on it or something, but besides that, I do not think I have ever had the conversation. I skipped TY. I have never had that conversation with anyone in school - no teacher, no module, nothing.
