When I said that it comes back to the parents that is what I meant. If the parents take the time and have the correct attitude about things and are able to explain their point without squirming themselves then half the battle is won.
Now having this "well they can have sex under our roof" attitude is wrong. Our school system here in Australia teaches sex ed in grades 5-6. Now most kids just laugh at half the things that are said because they haven't been briefed by the parents. Now some parents have the mentality that the child should find out for themselves in their own time. So they won't say anything to them and let the school system do it's work.
Now as far as violence goes. Well again it comes down to the parents. If there is something on TV that is rated MA15+ then of course you are not going to allow the kids to watch it. That is of coure if they are under 15. Even still some parents would just change the channel. It's also common sense as well if an R-rated film is on then you choose not to watch it, by changing the channel or turn off the TV.
