why sex education must teach in school?

Answer 1

because children have the right to learn about their bodies and how people are created.. knowledge doesn't teach children to have sex..

Answer 2

Much of the stuff is too embarassing to talk about with moms and dads, and rather than learning only part of the stuff, the schools are forced to teach all. Unfortunately this takes away from some of the things the schools should really be teaching.

Answer 3

Sex is more a part of our daily lives than many other subjects. You might as well ask why does school teach anything. If we are not to teach about something that is a part of our daily lives in a big way, what do we teach?

Answer 4

It's mainly because children have often the wrong ideas about sex, lack of information from parents, beliefs of what a friend said...
School must prevent every wrong step a child can make and that helps.

Answer 5

Its so the government covers their tracks. Those programs need to be available so young teens can have a heads up on the activities they are most likely doing already. Its educational! So you are learning something, and there's nothing wrong with that. The more teens know the better they can portect themselves. Hope that helped.

Answer 6

Because parent's don't take the responsibility to teach their own children, and society as a whole suffers as a result (teenage pregnancies, the increased need for abortion, spread of easily preventable diseases).

Teaching absenance doesn't work. They need to teach birth control methods and ways to keep yourself from catching a disease - it's obvious kids are going to experiment no matter what you say.

Answer 7

To make sure that every one is aware of the risks and hazards involved with sex (STDs, pregnancy, emotional turmoil), and what you can do to lessen them (abstain, use a condom, use the Pill, talk with your partner). And also so we can understand rape and rape victims. In addition, sex ed often teaches about puberty, including menstruation and wet dreams, so the young adults to do not feel ashamed about their natural processes and understand how to cope with them.

Parents do not always know all about these things, or even if they do sometimes they have a hard time talking about them. In addition, research changes what we know, and parents won't have the most up-to-date information about various forms of contraception, for example. It's best to make sure that every child learns the best that we can tell them about this very important aspect of their health.

Answer 8

If more kids know an=bout it its better and anyway our parents wont teach us cus there scared and i think that with this generation learning that its okay to teach every1 about it the next generation there wont be sex, ed in schools all the parents who weree taught this will be comfortable talking about it with their kids

Answer 9

Because too many parents lack the gumption or skill to teach this at home. Because STDs are rampant among young people & they need to be taught to protect themselves. Because teenaged pregnancy is not ideal from a sociological point of view & avoidance should be taught. Because early sexual activity is a common source of anxiety & affective issues & should be avoided.

Answer 10

Because if it weren't, how else would kids learn about it? It teaches them how to be safe and to know what they are really dealing with.
