should there be sex educations in the schools?

Answer 1

STD should

Answer 2

I think it should, in high school. My little brother is in the fifth grade and was skipped from fourth, so he is younger than those in his class who have a sex education course. I don't think it is necessary at his age or even in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grade.

Most schools have a parental signature that is required to make sure the parent agrees to allow their child to receive sex education, so it is also like the parent chooses when to allow their children to learn these things.

By high school, there are pregnant girls running around though (in my high school anyway) so maybe at some point it is needed.

Answer 3

Yeah, some kids never get educated at home. It helps ..parents educate their children, and with the teachers school etc they can learn all they need to know about it.

Answer 4

Ideally parents should teach their children about sex, but many parents are too stupid, so yes there should be sex education in schools.

Answer 5

Of course. esp after seeing some of the questions on here. Like the little girl who is 12 and having sex or people who ask if there is a chance they are pregnant because they had sex. makes you wonder if they ever had the class.

Answer 6

yes, because you dont want them to learn it the non-professional way wich is people and friends telling them about it a non appropiate way. when i was in school you had to get a premission slip for sex ed. now you just have to show them an info flyer. my kid is in the eight grade and is learning about sex. especially during adolescence,puberty etc. BTW i would rather have a professional teach him instead of me. hope i helped. there is also a bad side to this. adolescent kids also have bigger chances of materbating,watching innapropiate material wich is why i have parental blocks. and even in the living room. i know my answer is long but hope i helped

Answer 7

There is, and anyone who says there shoudlent, how would you feel if your kid came home pregnant?

And dont say "oh they wouldent have sex' because you never know.... I agree that its the parents job to educate them, but the schools need to do it because not all parents are as responcible as some....

Answer 8

No, Americans should remain scared to death of sex and keep their children sheltered from the truth about sex for as long as possible. That way when the kids finally get old enough to tell their parents "you are full of yourself" the kid can like a prisoner let out of a cage go find out for himself. Unfortunately, they will probably be like a kid in a candy store . . .so, no, no sex education in schools, no discussion of sex at all, basically pretend there is no such thing as sex. The stork brought you, baby.

Answer 9

My personal opinion is yes, at what age and what exactly is discussed I think is where the biggest controversy exists, some will say discussion of safe sex in the classroom will encourage promiscuity, I say people are people even when they're young, so they should be taught about the dangers of unprotected sex. say around 7th grade?

Answer 10

definitely.

of course, it shouldn't start till a later grade. i think the perfect grade to start would be 8th grade because that is right before the highschool pressures and it would be great to get the education into the teen's heads.

its important teens know about this stuff and it can not be hidden. it can prevent a lot of trouble for them.

Answer 11

I really believe this should be the parents job but because too many parents don't bother, don't think their kids are 'doing it', or whatever bizarre things are going through their heads, I do think that the schools should pick up the slack.
