I have mixed feelings on whether or not the schools should be teaching sex-ed. First of all, they
do not seem to be doing a great job teaching other things, so I worry a bit about what information
they could mess up. Secondly, I think many kids are embarrassed or uncomfortable learning about sex
in a classroom setting with a bunch of their friends around. Lastly, I feel it is a parent's
responsibility to teach their kids about sex and all of the possible consequences of choosing to
have sex too young. That said, I realize that there are some parents out there that do not do this.
Perhaps, there should be a form sent home asking if a parent wishes to teach their kids about this
subject and possibly include the class schedule. From there, parents and their kids could decide
together whether or not they wish to learn it in school or whether they would rather learn it in the
privacy of their own home. The parents who simply do not wish to discuss this with their kids can
just sign the permission slip and wash their hands of the whole thing. I have no real issue with it
being taught in school as long as the parents who do wish to have that talk with their kids and have
it often, are made aware of exactly what is being taught and are able to also speak more with their
kids as they are taking the class and reinforce any values that they, as parents, find important. |
