Kids should learn about sex from their parents and each other "out behind the barn" as in the old days. :)<br /><br />I see also that schools are now policing what kids eat for lunch if they brought their lunch from home.

When I was in school (once a long, long time ago) they had an entire semester of health. They separated the boys and girls for "here's what your body is going to do during puberty" and then brought us back together for the rest. Yes, we giggled and laughed and poked fun at it all but we listened and learned. <br /><br />Now, my daughter has the opt out permission slip. Not to be taught at all!! It's health for goodness sakes, part of the natural process of life! Just teach both sides.<br /><br />My son, who went to school in another state was taught the bare minimum. And they wonder why the pregnancy rate in teens is so high?<br /><br />Now, in NY they want to begin teaching kids about sex in kindergarden...ummm, not so much. It's to young. Middle school is fine, let the kids be kids until then.<br /><br />Sorry Jo-Anne - rant over =)Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208890115089222559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-31038208065389519062012-03-01T00:50:32.459+11:002012-03-01T00:50:32.459+11:00Hi Jo-anne, I am absolutely in favour of sex educa...Hi Jo-anne, I am absolutely in favour of sex education in schools. Teenagers have sex whether we want them to or not, so we need to be realistic, and teach them safe practices and about birth control. My son refused to hear my sex education talk. He claimed that it was embarrassing to discuss sex with your Mom. I am glad that he had the chance to learn about sex in school.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-51621368539069655192012-02-29T22:37:48.189+11:002012-02-29T22:37:48.189+11:00You present a good argument, Jo-Anne and I love yo...You present a good argument, Jo-Anne and I love your kitten!

I thought it was a great idea.<br />I believe kids should be taught in school.

In a perfect world, kids would wait til they were out of high school when they are, hopefully, a little wiser.<br />I got the talk from my mom. I also got it in school- first just the girls, than later in high school in child development and than in health class. We also had speakers that were teenage parents come and talk.<br />It is stupid to believe that if you hide your head in the sand, that it isn't gonna happen.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-69220477099534999612012-02-29T15:13:42.888+11:002012-02-29T15:13:42.888+11:00Abstinence should certainly be emphasized as a gre...Abstinence should certainly be emphasized as a great option, but not teaching kids about birth control and how women get pregnant is unrealistic.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-64750684817915706382012-02-29T13:44:36.478+11:002012-02-29T13:44:36.478+11:00Bubbles.......Yes I think 5 is far to young it is ...Bubbles.......Yes I think 5 is far to young it is something that should be taught in high school in my opinion that is from the age of 12 or 13.......<br /><br />Rhonda.......I agree young children do not need to be told to much<br /><br />Queen Bee....It seems that way<br /><br />Al.......You are so funny and I am glad you agree with me really I amJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-46577206095505876242012-02-29T11:54:44.458+11:002012-02-29T11:54:44.458+11:00I don't really remember where I learned about ...I don't really remember where I learned about sex. We had nuns teach us about sex (a nun teaching anyone about sex is like a beaver teaching you how to build a rocket ship). My father never taught me. It was years before I realized that those WEREN'T funny smelling balloons in individual wrappers in his nightstand. I seem to remember talking about it with my friends-it was a great mystery to us. I do remember being absolutely appalled at one thought: "You mean they actually touch pee-pees?" Of course, this was embarassing at Navy boot camp. All I can say is thank goodness for Hugh Hefner and Francesca Miranova from Wooster Middle School.<br />Oh, wait a minute,where are my manners?

We were mixed but that didn't bother any of us. I think it needs to be taught as most of us were Pakistani children whose parents didn't talk about body changes, drugs and especially not sex so we had to learn it from somewhere. <br /><br />The only problem I do have is that they want to in the UK start teaching about it from the age of 5... really do we need to introduce the subject at such a young age?Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969241757724716562noreply@blogger.com
