I don't know if it's the same in Canada or the same rates apply but you can get the NHL vault through Game Center which shows classic games and it's $10 I think. No current games obviously.

I just use Hockeystreams on my WiiU. Works great, but the database only goes back a few years (to whenever the site opened)
That's what I've been trying to do. Since I have NHL Center Ice, I have zero interest in streaming live games, but I really do want to get access to the NHL Vault.
As a Christian that went through the public school system here in Alberta, and went through sex education classes that taught all about birth control and all that jazz, I don't really feel like my rights were trampled by the "immoral education system". Just because I believe in abstinence and waiting until marriage to have sex doesn't mean I need the school system to reinforce my beliefs.
That being said, I don't really see why you need to start sex education classes in Grade 1. I went through my first sexual education class in Grade 5, and to be perfectly honest with you, it was probably too early. No kid in any of my classes was even thinking about that sort of stuff at that time, and while kids might be growing up faster these days, 4 years earlier than when I started learning on this stuff? I sorta feel like an old person complaining about the "kids these days".

From what I remember, I did sex ed in grade 5 but it was more general information about babies and stuff. Then grade 6 is when we got into the other stuff. My catholic school said to be abstinate but they knew no one would so they taught is about birth control, condoms, all that stuff.

I went to catholic school from K-8 and had sex ed in grade 5 you can only imagine what catholic sex ed is like. I begged my parents to let me go to public high school and I never looked back after they said yes.

They're starting the program starting at Grade 1. They're not starting Sex Ed proper in grade 1.
"Students in Grade 1 will be taught the proper names for body parts. They will also learn how to recognize non-verbal signals, such as facial expressions and tone of voice, to better communicate with others."
I mean, my daughter is in kindergarden, and she already knows all of that. Penis, vagina, breasts, etc... She learned that real early, though that was more to do with the fact that my wife and I abhor the whole "peepee/weewee/doodle" baby-talk-terminology for penis, and likewise with the female parts. Regardless of why though, my 5 year old knows the names for everything, and that's hardly a bad thing. It just means that when we eventually have the sex conversation, she won't be using baby talk and she'll know where everything is, and I won't have to say something monstrously stupid and condescending like "the boy puts his wee-wee in the girl's hoo-haa".
Under the new system, students still won't learn about anything sexual until grades 5 & 6, but a lot of the groundwork is being done in earlier grades as far as terminology, understanding relationships, and understanding improper and proper behavior.

Every time you post saying what grade you're in, I realize how long I've been on these boards.
Yeah. Been 3 and a half years since I have been a lounge regular. So many changes in who the regulars are over that time

I would have thought so too but from my facebook middle school friends it seems like most of them are still religious. I'd say the ratio is eighty to twenty percent. Interestingly enough the people who I were really good friends with back ended up being the less religious or not religious ones.

I know! When's the last time anybody's seen Shanny? CH rarely posts anymore and I've become a lurker more or less. We had some great time sin the lounge though, that's for sure!

I'm living proof of that one.
Having a 6-foot tall creepy nun as a school principal in elementary school will do that to a person. Along with having nasty, nasty teachers.
I remember one time...grade 3 or 4 iirc, a kid was coming back after a week off after his little brother was struck and killed by a car while riding his bike. The kid started crying in class and the teacher started yelling at him....I was never so angry in my life. I went from idolizing teachers (and adults in general) to wanting to run up to her and beat the crap out of her in a few seconds. For her to berate and yell at him in front of the whole class while he's sitting there crying about his brother.....I never, ever forgave that. Real "Christian" values there. But that was the typical attitude of those teachers back in the late 70s and early 80s.

Yeah, I believe so. I'm sure most have good reasons for their absence. I was commenting more on his lack of posts, rather than why he doesn't post anymore.
