What Do You Think Of Sexual Education In Schools?

Answer 1

Theory or Practicals ??;)

Answer 2

With the rates of teenage pregnancy, and teenage parents, this question rather answers itself, ya think.
Actually, it needs to start early, say in 8th grade, just about the time kids start really getting curious. Many of you would say "too young" ,but again, look at the rates of teenage parents.
Obviously, by the time they get to HS, they think they are "experienced" and know "all about it", then surprise....By then it's too late, another statistic hits the rolls..
Too bad more parents don't impress their kids with more values, morals and self-respect, then in addition to teaching sex ed in the home and in the schools maybe we could reduce these numbers.
If you question this, just go through Yahoo answers and read the questions on this topic. You will quickly fill up both hands with, "I am only ??, and I think I am pregnant." Or, my girlfriend thinks she is pregnant, and we are still in HS, what do we do?"...

Answer 3

Very much needed for children to get accurate info and not myths and half-truths heard from the streets. In the schools it could be learned in a dignified manner, with sexes seperated, to avoid girls being intimidated to ask certain questions in front of boys and vice versa. A lot of parents are to timid to properly deal with the topic, and children may be comfortable airing questions of curiosity with a teacher or counselor.

Answer 4

It's pretty factual. My kids all took sex ed in school and had lots of questions at home. Good thing I am a pretty liberal parent and my kids and I are very close. I sometimes have to remind them that a mom doesn't have to know everything, but in my heart, I am glad they are so comfortable, because as a teacher, I know a lot of parents aren't and their kids have a lot of difficulty with their kids.

Answer 5

they should put more emphasis on abstinance because look at the rising rates of teenage pregnacies. I know a family where the mother had her first kid at sixteen, and all of her kids had a child at sixteen as well. I think that they need to start these programs earlier and teach them about the seriousness of sexually transmitted diseases.

Answer 6

I'm really not crazy about it *BUT*, there are parents/caregivers out there who aren't addressing the matter, so the kids have to get the facts somewhere.

Answer 7

I believe that sex ed is fundamental in high schools. Parents often are too embarassed to talk about the facts of sex with their kids. In sex ed. nothing is crazy or stupid.

Answer 8

It's not working.

Answer 9

I think it's absolutely necessary!

Answer 10

Today.. it's necessary. Sad but true.
