If that teacher would say with the curriculum and not interject with his/her own opinions, stories, and morals…. which would probably never happen.

Yes. They should know about it. I was actually learning it in third grade. I specifically remember a unit in our book called “God’s Gift of Sexuality”… And in third grade, too. But I don’t think it would matter to an extent, because students will just find out while talking to their friends. But it’s better to have a teacher or instructor tell them so it’s more formal. The instructor can teach them to use their bodies responsibly and about refraining from sexual actions so they don’t get sexually transmitted diseases. Now, whether abstinence only sex education or sex education with contraceptives should be taught is a different matter that usually varies from religious schools to public schools.

The key word is “education.” Sex education is exactly that –education. And the place to be educated is school. So yes, sex education should be taught in school. A lot of people may argue that it is the parents’ place to teach children about sex. But education is about knowledge. And sex is biological and scientific. It has to do with the body, reproduction, and health. Students need to have knowledge about organs, body processes, STDs, and pregnancy, among other things. Not all parents have this knowledge. And it is important for all students to be properly informed so they can lead healthy lives. Teaching about sex and all things related is not an endorsement for having sex. It is education. Plain and simple.

yes but with reservations. Not until at least 4th or 5th grade and then just a very light brushing of the topic. More in depth ( no pun intended) in middle school when their horomones are at full speed. Less about the how and more about what happens if you don’t protect yourself(VD and Preg) Even if it doesn’t completly work, teach abstance and then the use of protection. I had too many friends have abortions b/c they thought they had the answers, but didn’t

you know, I would be fine with it, but I really think it should be a parental choice… I want to make sure that My son udnerstand that this is not about allowing him to have sex, I want him to understand that In case that He makes a BAD choice that there are consequences, very severe ones…I rather tell my child If you are going to take a bad choice you should do this and that..Instead of telling him..No dont do it..yeah Right. If schools choose to give such kind of education they should do it under a science umbrella such as Diseases and preventive care.

I thought it already was. If not, then it should. Although experience shows that no matter how much information they get, if preteens or teens or young adults are going to do it, they will, no matter what, and to hell with the consequences.
People are just as ignorant about the subject in this, the age of information, as they were ten or twenty years ago.

Of course it shoud. Much like drugs and alcohol, students are going to try sex whether you tell them to or not. It’s important that they know and understand the risks and consequences involved, so that they at least take precautions.

i believe it should. its good because it teaches how to have safe sex and the risks of not. there are usually at least 2 or 3 pregnant girls in my high school but most of the girls i kno that have sex do it safely because they know the risks.

absolutely not. never should one support it. sex education doesn’t need to be imparted i comes by itself. there is a saying that “only thing that doesn’t come without education is sexual knowledge”.-bye.
