Answer 1

THEY GOTTA LEARN IT SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, AND THERE MIGHT BE PARENTS THAT ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO TELL THEIR CHILDREN

Answer 2

Serious infections and diseases are spread via sexual intercourse. Pregnancy at a young age makes the life of both mother and child much more difficult. Sex education should definitely be taught in schools. Perhaps it would be better if parents were to teach their children about this topic, but too many parents shy around the topic or simply are not educated enough about the topic themselves. Because it is such an important topic that can deeply affect the lives of the students, the schools therefore have the responsibility to teach students about sex education.

Abstinence education is not enough. Although it should be taught that abstinence is the best way to avoid STIs, HIV, pregnancy, etc, abstinence can not be taught practically as the students' sole means of birth control. Rather, other types of birth control, the symptoms of STIs, and other information should be taught as well. Guest speakers who themselves are HIV-positive or who became pregnant at a young age could be utilized to give students a face and a narrative to make the topic seem more real.

A message of "use a condom" is much more likely to be successful than the message of "don't have sex until you are married." The majority of young people these days have sex before they are married, so these young people need to know how to protect themselves. The government is responsible for dispensing this information, and the best way is through the schools.

Answer 3

I believe the school system should teach the reproductive aspect, the purpose of protection and what to use, learn all about the STD's and pregnancies.
They should be focusing on preventing them and most of all, they should be teaching them what happens when accidents happen and the complications that arise from them. They should be aware of what it's like being pregnant or living with an incurable disease.
They should get real live people involved in the course to share their stories and their regrets. Sometimes, the stories of others in the same age group, may snap other teens into reality and make them realize sex is not a game. There are consequences for the action and it may be life altering, that they can never take back.
Material and studies are fine but they are written by a bunch of old people and are not all that interesting. Put a face that is like their own, with stories and the horror's someone the same age went through, then they stand up and take notice. Anything less and it's just information going in one ear and out the other.

Answer 4

In a perfect world, parents would educate their children as to sexual health, reproduction, and all of the other side issues that go with it. However, this isn't the case. Some kids get a good grounding from their parents, and have a free and open relationship in which they can discuss these issues; others are unfortunately not so lucky. As a consequence, the schools have had to pick up the slack, in response to increased rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. At least with the schools providing the information -- from a qualified educator who is trained in this field -- the students are more likely to get accurate information and be better equipped to deal with all the issues facing them.

And that's the catch, isn't it? Many schools provide "sex ed" because it's mandated by the federal government, but the quality of the sex ed they provide is questionable, because rather than focus on the facts and issues surrounding sex, they focus on the abstinence issue, and behave as if that will magically cure all the ills of teenage society -- if we can just get them to say no to premarital sex. The end result? A generation of kids who are SADLY misinformed about sexual reproduction, sexual health, STDs, etc. -- and are STILL having sex. Preaching about abstinence, having kids sign abstinence oaths, etc. -- doesn't stop the hormones from flowing, doesn't stop kids from making decisions based on those hormones, and WITHOUT the proper information to make those decisions.

Bottom line -- sex ed is a must in schools, as long as parents aren't doing the job they're supposed to do in educating their children for a productive adulthood, but sex ed that doesn't teach the kids anything of value is less than useless.

Sorry. Pet peeve.

Answer 5

Well that is a good question, should parents shuck their job as parents and expect teachers to inform our children about sexuality and what is right and wrong about teen sex. As a parent and a minister I believe it's up to the parents and church to teach good morals to our children. I teach a class called Good Sex, and Next Time I fall in Love. They deal with biblical issues of sex and relationships and what God intended for sex and relationships between Man and Woman, not man and man or such. Morals is what is never taught proper in schools since God is not allowed in most schools. That in my opinion is where we as a country went wrong.

Answer 6

You mean as a formal sex ed (and not what you learn from your buds in the washroom)? Probably not, mainly because kids are ready for different information at different ages, not one-size-fits-all, schools always pick the wrong teacher to teach it, and the information is either too much or too little and always subject to a Puritanical Board of Education terrified of offending someone.

Answer 7

I think that sex education should be taught in school, but not only as absonence as the only exceptable way. They should teach ways to have sex that are safe no just dont have sex because this, this, and that can happen. Kids are kids and unfortunately some will have sex and they should be taught the ways to take care of themselves.

Answer 8

I think parents should talk to their kids about sex, but the school should also teach it. That way the parents have a strong relationship with their kids and the kids know they can go to their parents for help.

Answer 9

No they shouldn't be learning about sex in school. That's for the parents to teach.

Answer 10

The school system need to educate you. Sex should be taught at home by parents.

Answer 11

I think it is good children learn about sex as it shows the consequences of their actions, I also think parents should support the teachers and tell them about it as well.
