Answer 1

Schools should teach the 3 Rs primarily. Since the schools do not allow churches to come in and teach religion classes, the schools should not be teaching their own version of sexual morality by handing out condoms. Churches teach faith and morals. Schools do not teach faith and they don't teach morals except where they choose to as with sex.

Answer 2

You think middle school kids are too young for sexual behavior? So, that isn't stopping anyone from having sex. There was a question like this before and I said that I know some people who have been having sex since 6th grade. They need that protection cause, honestly, who else are they going to get it from? Some schools even show how to put on a condom (like on a banana). So I think teaching abstence or safe sex are not bad ideas.

As for that article you know there was a 9 year old that got a fake ID, got onto two planes and flew out to his grandparents house in Texas. Kids are smarter then they were before. By that I mean their are some of us that know how to jump start a car or where to get a gun. Now just becuase that one kid had problems and needed to do those things don't mean all of us do. He (and the 9 year old I mentioned earlier) could have been attention hungry, or abused and wanted to run away.

start up by making use of observing the recommendations to the loose condoms application. evaluate the main possibly costs and results of each and every option to the loose condoms application. the result would be the main obvious answer. teen intercourse isn't something new. that's Nature's plan. It has purely exchange into undesirable with greater advantageous existence expectancy, decrease infant mortality costs, thechronic to acquire greater coaching, postponed marriage, and so on. the genuine draw back is promiscuity. If a woman has too many sexual companions she starts off comparing fanatics. She might have difficulty settling down. This exchange into not a difficulty numerous generations in the past. If a woman had intercourse earlier marriage it exchange into often with the guy she exchange into going to marry. because of the fact the hollow between first sexual come upon and common marriage is a few decade, this is been argued that handing out loose condoms contributes to marital instability. for the reason that single parenting finally ends up in a bunch of social issues alongside with chucking up the sponge of school, drug use, teen being pregnant, divorce, suicide, and so on., it may additionally be argued that handing out loose condoms to scholars purely exchanges one set of instantaneous issues for yet another set of problems down the line. All loose condoms might do is get the subject concerns off the schoolhouse steps and push it added down the line. needless to say, issues alongside with drug use, no time to help little ones with homework come back to hang-out colleges a technology later. If the answer is barely to handout greater loose condoms, then the answer will become area of the concern! by making use of the way, a lot an identical element can be argued approximately abstinence purely intercourse coaching for the reason that females promising abstinence often destroy their promise earlier commencement. Getting not elementary on intercourse is like getting not elementary on drugs. that's failed public coverage. So loose condoms exchange into an beautiful answer because of the fact they're somewhat much less costly. purely abstinence, that's all communicate, is greater decrease priced. the genuine question is there a greater useful answer an the two abstinence or condoms. Generations in the past it exchange into thought that intercourse coaching might sparkling up the concern of teenybopper sexuality. It did not.

Do you realize that the school can't give your child an aspirin without a parents permission, but they can give them a condom or birth control pills?
Most children haven't been taught the responsibility of carrying out the trash, nor are they being taught an example by their parents.Yet the school thinks they can teach these children to be responsible enough to have safe sex.Parents need to step up to the forefront and start being parents.I believe to that it needs to start with these dads that think their position makes them boss in the home.I hate to say it but husbands and fathers are 95% of whats wrong with society today.

God Bless You Sister for providing this Spirit lead question, may the Lord grant you the wisdom to stir us up as Peter did.
2 Peter 1:13 "Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; "

Answer 5

Parental education and involvement are essential components to creating compassionate, educated and ethical children!
There are always cases of kids that rise above their background, and others that are raised in wonderful homes that become socio-paths, but in general I feel that we must educate ourselves as parents in order to teach our children. Ask them questions, find out who they are hanging out with, talk to the teachers to get a look at who they are during their days.
I don't like the idea of handing out condoms in middle school but am fine with them being available at the high school level. Not because I condone sex at that age, but would want there to be protection available if it does happen. Sex kills these days!

Answer 6

My kids are all grown, but to put it mildly anyone who would have given them a condom at any point while they were in school would have a fight on their hands as I have nothing but disdain (no, let's call it outright hate!) for literalistic approaches to solving the perceived "problems" of society. The liberal approach and the saps who adhere to it are the exact reason why we have such as the article referred to and to this great of an extent. ...and what political party advances the causes of liberalism? Democrats! Yet millions will line up next election and vote for the very thing they stand against in their daily lives. How dumb is that? You asked for my opinion - you have it.

Answer 7

I would encourage us all to pray not only for the schools but our country and all who are in it. We are fighting a battle. We must use our weapons which are prayer and the word of God. To battle against the enemy. If we are teaching and raising our own children up in the ways of purity. Maybe they can be that shining light in their school that will show others the truth.

Answer 8

i think middle school is WAY too young to begin exploring sexual behavior...kids 'grow up' way too young anymore. and it's NOT the school's place to decide how to handle this. it's the parent's place...unfortunately too many parents don't take on this responsibility, AND they think it's okay to expose kids to things really only appropriate for adults; kids emulate what they see, and what they see is adults having sex, or they hear about it, and that's how they learn to behave.

and you have a point...this then creates deeper issues. and if parents are too busy and don't want to deal with the sex question, they certainly don't want to deal with anything deeper.

Answer 9

Good. Maybe we won't have so many STD'S. My school has an abstinence only education program. And it's mostly BS like "nothing protects against pregnancy/STD's"" blah blah

Answer 10

We're living in a sick and unsupervised time.
