Schools should teach human biology and anatomy, which includes reproduction. I don't think whole courses need to address condoms and STDs. The truth about human pregnancy and birth should terrify all young girls out of having sex forever.

All objective and unbiased studies on sex education have shown the same results:

1) Where sex education is of good quality, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are low.

2) Where sex educations is of poor quality or non-existent, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are high.

This has especially been true in US states where "abstinence only" was mandatory. Search for the facts and not political or religious opinions.

Parents should step up and tell kids about sex don't wait until the "big question" comes up when they come running saying "mommy Daddy look i have balls between my legs that's about the right age now for girls i have no idea when to tell them. But passing out condems in class, it's just like saying don't have sex but if you do wear these and you'll keep the girl safe not always true. It's like giving them a permit to have sex.

Kids need to learn. There should not be a limit to what they can learn. I do not think that sex education is that big of a deal.

It all depends on what you expect from our schools. Do we want them to help our students in dealing with real life problems and situations? Important things that can seriously help them as they grow? Or are we looking for the schools to conserve their resources of time and money so they are expended on children to provide them with the best possible education in dealing with a competitive international economy, and expect (hope) that their parents provide the life lessons that they need. Both sides have merit, but were i to choose, i would go with the latter, considering the state of education today and the need for an educated citizenry. Hopefully a well educated individual will result, and will also translate to a wise individual when faced with life's problems.

Sorry but I think students (being one myself) should have sex ed because some parents are too nervous and embarrassed to talk about those things with there children. Obviously, if that's not the case than parents should contact the school to notify them that their child will be/has been educated about that subject, by the parents themselves.

 Poor poor parents. Sounds like they were not even mature enough to have kids IMO.

Mature enough to have sex but not mature enough to talk about it? And that's okay in our society? It's a reason, an excuse, to dismiss the lack of parenting going on. Oh those poor poor parents. I don't feel sorry for them at all!
