Sequel to Sex education or traffic rules!!!

Well this is not exactly a sequel in the true sense. But the contents of this posts are definitely related to its predecessor. But before get busy reading this post of mine let me tell you the reason for this sequel. Normally directors direct a sequel wen the previous one is a huge hit at the box office. But in my case its quite the opposite!!! What i wrote in my post was misinterpreted. The reason for it could have been my way of expressing it. My apologies. So like i said my reason for coming up wit a sequel is coz it didn't turn out the way I had intended it to. But the most important thing you should know is that what you are about to read is my father's comment after having gone through my blog. So read on.... Sex education or traffic rules in my father's words!!!
I share similar views.Both are very important social sciences and they should not compete for importance. Both are essential for a harmonious life. Many people including the teachers mistake Sex edcation for teaching the details of the act of the coitus and associated drill. It is actually only a part of Biology with details of Physiology of reproduction as applicable to our normal life . It should be imparted in ajudicious way suitable to the age and maturity of mind ,needless to say the content and timing will be different for both the sexes.The traffic rules is a bigger subject and more time has to be devoted for it. It should be a full fledged subject of it's own and should be made mandatory in all classes, in a graded format,with importance equal to language arithmatic and other basic sciences. In the primary classes (upto 12years) it should deal with discriptions of the roads and how to keep it clean ,use etc( in present day to avoid the use of cell phone ,or stop at safe place to use it) should taught. In the next segment (10-16years)the rule of the road comes to the picture. It should include the scientific basis for them,only then will it be appreciated and followed. A small detail of first aid also can be added. In the Higher sec level(15-18years)We can add more of the science of road safety ,laws in the context,Insurance policies should be there. A basic life support course (B L S) should be imparted which will be very useful in the life. As long ago as 1960's - 70's Dr N P Singh had voluntarily imparte this skill to nearly 10,000 school students in Delhi and Pondicherry. In 90's The Kochi Action Forum had trained 10,000 youth volunteers in it and issued badges etc Optionally, two,three and four wheelers driving can also be given in the edcation instituitions in the vacation with some lessons on the mechanics of the vehicles. They should be shown audio visuals of the dynamics of road accidents and their impact on the human body and the property. This will certainly reduce the recklessness on the road,and allow all of us to enjoy the road safely. I have put my views and am sure is not easy task for the authorities to implement.But if there is a will it can be done, provided the imptce is recognised.There will be lot of resistance from the parents, teachers beaurocrats and a few more ,but I am sure the silver clouds will be the student community,who will whole heartedly welcome .
Long live India - Socially friendly for all
Now back to me.... This was what i had intended but expressed wrong. So i hope you agree with what my dad had to say, i.e. indirectly agree with me. So how that we know what we ought to do, lets not waste time sitting on our ***, lets comw up wit a way to make this come true!!!!
