Parents want teachers to do more when it comes to teaching their children about social and life skills inside the classroom, according to a new report.

The joint study between Monash University researchers and the Australian Scholarship Group (ASG) is the only one of its kind to investigate the state of education in Australia from parents' perspective.

Undertaken by Monash Faculty of Education associate professors Sivanes and Shane N. Phillipson, the report said Australian parents want their children to have access to a "holistic education".

According to the study, 69 per cent of parents believe schools should do more to teach their child about social skills. When ethnicity is factored in, the proportion increases substantially to 94 per cent among Indian and other Asian parents.

Furthermore, 49 per cent of parents agree they would like their child's school to do more about teaching them how to behave in public, which increases to 74 per cent among Indian and other Asian parents.

The mantra "The Corps is mother, the Corps is father" springs to mind.

    The rhythm method is obsolete. It relies only on menstration and/or body temperature.

    Newer methods rely on mucus examination. This is far more reliable. Mucus is judged according to color, transparency, ability to be stretched out without breaking, and slipperyness.

    You can use it to make babies or to avoid them, or even just to know a due date or father in case a baby happens to be created.

    As birth control, it fails when people blow off the signs and fuck condom-free anyway. This happens because an ovulating woman is especially horny. Note that women on hormonal birth control miss out on this entirely, and their relationships suffer the loss of it. Ovulation is simply the most enjoyable time to fuck.
