I recalled one time when my daughter was on her second year in grade school. In her lingo I asked her if she knew how babies are born? And she answered it is when the tummy of mam and dad stick together. It made me laugh for a little girl to think that way, but that was a good chance for me to explain further through pictures how life begins without explaining what the actual sex is.
Now that she is on her teens, I perfectly know that she learned more abt sex via school, public literatures and maybe friends. I would be more concerned
abt them learning what is life after sex and the responsibilites of engaging into sex.

I think they need to start Sex Ed by middle school. Teens are starting earlier then ever and high school might be too late. They need to learn about consequences and protection and diseases and pregnancy as soon as they hit adolescence. Avoiding it because you think it will give them ideas is crazy. They all have those ideas. They need to learn that there is more to sex than just having it and not all parents are comfortable with discussing this.

i’m all for starting sex education in high school. i think it’s good 2raise the awareness on the much ‘taboo’ subject. Hey we can’t stop kids from experimenting, but at least we can educate them on doing it safely…

I agree that kids learn about sex at a young age so that they don’t stay naive but on my opinion it should start at home.

I agree that it is important for kids to learn earlier about puberty and to wait until high school to learn about sex and related issues. I don’t think parents should leave it totally to the schools to teach their children about this stuff though.

In my opinion, sex ed. should be given the first year of high school b/c they will be exposed to sex anyway. My son learned about sex in 5th grade (I think that was kinda young) when they gave a presentation in school about sex but he went with his dad so I guess I felt a little better. Even my hubby was shocked on what they talked about but at least he knows and doesn't have to hear it from his friends that don't know anything, ya know.

My daughter is in 4th grade now and it frightens me b/c I see girls her age looking too sexy for school. I think it's the parents job to look at things like that. I decide what to buy for my daughter so I really don't understand these girls dressing so provocatively.

Btw, Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.

I think it’s a shame that the schools feel they have to be the parents for most kids.

Take a look at the United States before 1965 and now. You be the judge of whether sex education is good for society.
