Parents have hit out at an “offensive” work sheet at a Liverpool school that claims young people who skip lessons are more likely to have 'early sex.'
A document, seen by the ECHO, handed out to students in isolation at Dixons Academy, Fazakerley, states that “young people who truant are more likely to use alcohol or drugs.” The sheet handed out to learners also said those who skip school are more likely to get involved in anti-social behaviour and as a result “more likely to become young parents.”
The statements are among 10 made on a worksheet given to children who are held in the academy’s isolation unit known as Mountain Support. The document asks the students to identify which of the list are true, including “young people who regularly skip school are more likely to have early sex”.
