Do you agree that SEX education to be taught in inter scholl level or colleg level or even primary shool level

Answer 1

i believe that sex education should be taught in inter schools and in colleges. between those ages, people are learning about or having sex. they need to be informed about sex. i think it would be a good idea. i'm not sure about primary school. kids in primary school are too young and may not understand the nature of sex. i think teaching sex ed. in primary schools will confuse as well as put ideas in the children's mind. plus, if these kids have questions, who are they going to ask? their parents, teachers or their peers? i think if a child is going to learn about sex ed., they should get taugh from their parents. at least the parent will have a chance to educate their child about sex before the world does. can you imagine, if you have a child and they start talking about sex. how would you feel? how would you answer them? then the next question you ask yourself is: where did or who is talking to my child about sex? if a teacher talks about sex to his or her young students, what should a parent think? what if the child's peers talk about sex, what goes on in the mind of the parents involved? this subject about sex ed being taught in primary school is very difficult to answer.

i think this question is good to ask, especially in our ever changing society.

Answer 2

The district we live in starts sex ed (with parental permission) in middle school and continues it through high school. While I feel starting a very basic sex ed (focused more on body developement) should start in fifth grade, I also support the idea that at that point, the parents know what thier child is ready to hear and be exsposed to. I also support a parent's right to request their child not attend sex ed, although I do feel the parents should then provide proof of the child getting some form of sex ed (be it based on religous teachings, in the home, from a church leader, etc.) I do not support the use of abstinence only program as the basis for sex ed in the schools. These programs do not give students the much needed information on birth control and the prevention of STD's. The second matter is one of growing concern on the national scale. Studies have shown that while pregnancy rates among teens who sign absitnence pledges is down, the STD rate is climbing as the engage in "alternate" activities (oral sex). All one needs to do is read some of the postings in the pregnancy boards and the ones geared towards adolescents to see that a lot of kids have absolutely no idea how sex works or the truth behind birth control. I also believe (and my daughter will take part in) sex ed programs discussing the issue of sexual orientation. I also agree that schools can not mention that some people consider homosexuality to be a sin or immoral...seperation of church and state does not allow religous beliefs to be included in public schools. Nor can the schools mention that some religons are "prejudice" against homosexuals..to single a group out and generalize their feelings in unfair. Sexual education should always begin with a conversation between parents and children. However, the truth is many parents are not comfortable enough to go beyond the basics and are unprepared for the advanced level of information and mis-information our kids are exsposed to on the playgrounds. A strong sex ed program in the school can be used in partnership with discussions of personal beliefs at home.

Answer 3

In an ideal world, *parents* would teach their children all they needed to know about healthy and productive (pardon the pun) sexual behavior. Then, sex education in schools wouldn't be strictly necessary, but it couldn't hurt either.

However, most studies on the subject have shown that a majority of parents fail to do so. Indeed, this is one of the great tragedies of modern society. The Idea that sex can be controlled through ignorance is ludicrous. Sex education is not a political or religious issue, it is a matter of grave importance, and it should concern everyone.

It seems to me, that much of the "common knowledge" about sex.......... is a version that's mean, guilt-ridden, selfish, fantastic, and superficial; that is perpetuated by word of mouth, pornography, and popular media.

I still consider that "sex-ed" is a force for good in the world. The more that children know about healthy sexual behavior, the *less* likely they are to become sexually active at an early age, engage in risky sex, get pregnant, acquire STD's, &c. &c. I believe that most of the scientific information out there will verify this fact; something that cannot be said of pure "abstinence only" programs.

As to what age sex ed is appropriate, well that would be preferably *before* teens are likely to become sexually active, around 12 or 13 (my opinion....)

However, Schools can only do so much, when faced with ignorance at home and abroad......

Answer 4

Sex education should be taught with the permission of the parents. Parents could view the information and decide if they feel it is appropriate for their child. It should start as early as possible and should include with whatever is deemed appropriate for that age. If parents would do this at home it would not have to be done at school! Sex ed. is not instruction it is useful information that could help to prevent unwanted pregnancy. No one likes abortion. Abstinence should be taught as the best choice, but just in case that doesn't happen kids need to know.

Answer 5

I am in favour of sex education to school level. I am sorry to say that so many kids are molested by family friends, family members or by neighbours. Kids are innocent . They should know what is the right way or the wrong way of touch. Where they are not supposed to be touched by anyone.They should know what is private part means. Knowing all these things are not wrong.In India mothers or fathers are not that open minded to discuss all that things to their children which sometimes cause a big mentel and physical problems among children's. I have two teen age kids and they know everything about sexual life, they were tough in the school.School teacher should be trained enough to deal appropriately with such a delicate subject.

Answer 6

I think middle school age is appropriate,6, 7 and 8th grade, 11, 12 and 13 years old. The problem is in our area, the Pro Choice is taught and the Pro Life people have a very difficult time in getting their thoughts across through the school board, thus it isn't taught. I think teaching responsibility instead of handing out condoms is important, and again, responsibility to use a condom versus abstinence is taught. I would like to see both pro and con taught in the school system instead of being very liberal. I have a two granddaughters that were horrified what was being said about sex in the classroom. When their parents complained to the school board, it was met with a deaf ear and excuses. I honestly do not know what the answer is. I think it is important to get the word out about responsibility, but at what cost?

Answer 7

Middle school or secondary level is the best time to teach SEX education coz the majority of teens should be reaching maturity by that time and they should be well-informed about themselves as in gender appearances and functions

Primary school is kinda too early for these kids as most are still not matured yet..

Answer 8

It should be taught at the middle school level. And--if you've kept up--the value of this has been proven. Despite the scare tactics of the fake "moral values" right-wing, sex educationis working--teen-age pregnancies are down int the US over thelast decade by a third.

Ignorance, when it comes to sex, is verydefinately not bliss.

Answer 9

Sex education should begin in the early years. Sex education does not necessarily have to mean teaching children 'how' to have sex, or about birth control, etc. Teaching a kindergartener about "good touch, bad touch" is an appropriate topic for that age.

Answer 10

The interest in coaching creationism at an early age relies on the better opportunities of implanting the recommendations of religion by making use of excellent together as the iron is warm. youthful minds are much less able to refuting illogical reasoning and are in risk of accepting that imaginary and mystical "reasoning" is genuine and consequently worth of help. the lecture room as a messenger additionally includes alongside with it a level of credibility that may not be able to be discovered outdoors of a studying employer. in case you learn that introduction technological know-how is "genuine" interior the comparable room the place you're taught that a million+a million=2, you a miles less apt to ask questions relating to the "info" of introduction on your later years. introduction technological know-how isn't technological know-how... clever layout isn't clever...
