It's my personal opinion that sexual education should not be taught in schools. It's the job of the parents to teach their children about sex and public schools are overstepping their boundaries by making sexual education a mandatory course for children as young as kindergarten ages.
What are some of your opinions? |

My Dad and I had "the talk" when I was 15. He learned a few things that day he didn't know..

I think it should be taught in schools, but it shouldn't be mandatory. And I don't think it needs to be taught to Kindergarteners, that just seems ridiculous.

It'd be different if it were like 6-8th graders, but kindergarteners? I also think making it optional for the parents to decide would be great, because some parents actually take the time for their kids and don't really enjoy being undermined by the school system. |

personally, comeing from a town that had 11 and 12 y/o parents (yeah, seriously) and given the amount of crap people see on tv and hear on radio and see on the good'ol web that it should be taught in schools, not so much in kindergarten but i had the class when i was in 5th grade and the school system thought it would be good to teach us all it right before puberty, unfortunetly it didnt work out for most of my class mates who are now like 23 and have 4 kids each but i guess its not a bad thing as long as the children are mature enough to handle it, but it needs to come from the parents too, there is no need for parents to dodge the issue, it only causes problems.
*huff huff* im outta finger breath |

My parents never gave me a sex talk... they just said that if I decided to have sex before marriage to never come home. I turned out perfectly fine. It's horrible for some of the kids getting knocked up at 11 and whatnot, but undermining and going against parental wishes is a downfall of this society. Optional would be great because then the parents could make that decision for themselves instead of someone else making that decision for their children. |

Maybe it's different now, but when I was in 4th grade they didn't even inform my parents until after they made me go to the class. You can imagine that my parents were pretty damn upset. |

yeah, it could be diffrent now, and thats pretty fugged that they didnt inform your parents. I think that should deffinetly be done like a week or two before the class, because if the parents dont want to talk to the kids before that maybe the notice would be motivation enough for them to take the time because they want to explain it before they hear the schools version that im pretty sure hasnt changed since the 70's "This is johnny and this is jane." lol

It's my opinion that kids should be taught right from the get-go that sex in all its forms is a positive thing!
Down with psuedo-religious zealots and Puritans! |

Sex education is needed in schools.
Too many parents don't tell their kids anything other than don't. I remember vividly a young friend of my daughter spending the night and having her first period. Her parents had not told her a thing and she was terrified. She thought she was going to die! I was mad as hell that anyone would allow this to happen to their child. The mother was very upset that I had given her daughter a tampon. She went so far as to call me a pervert. I found out sometime later that this girls parents had opted out of the schools sex ed program. It was against their religion it seems. Information is essential to making good decisions. |

Probably need to throw in some info/classes for parents too! Kids need to know the facts and all the right words, but parents should be forming a strong, positive attitude about sex..that it is normal and good when in the right atmosphere. Many parents were abused as kids and cannot give a "positive" talk to their kids if they haven't coped with their own abuse. Kids need to know they can defend themselves and report inappropriate behavior.
