biology is fine, physical education is fine
but this thread is about homosexuality meaning sexual acts .... its not simply about physical education. I remember my sex education classes at school being about reproduction. Homosexuality does not lead to reproduction, therefore it is not simply about biology.
maybe someone should be teaching the parents how to talk about sex openly and not like there is anything wrong with it.
That still wouldn't mean they'd tell their kids about sex unfortunately.
I suspect most people find it too embarrassing to talk about with their kids. Probably related to Johnny Carson saying years ago on The Tonight Show that no one can actually imagine their parents having sex.
It is about biology. Reproduction is only a part of human sexuality.
May I ask what is the education you would wish for your children on sex?

The part about it causing a lot of problems is a key reason why it's important to cover it.because sex isnt just any other subject.
it can cause a lot of problems if it is misused or abused. It needs to be dealt with carefully not like its 'just another' subject.
Parents are free to teach their children things outside of school. It's not as though if something is taught in school, it's not allowed to be taught outside of school as well.a morality to go along with the physical aspects of sex
this thread obviously isnt about 'physical' education. I have no problem with that.
But being taught about sex by some teacher in a classroom is inappropriate because the values of that teacher may not be the same as the values of the childs family and for that reason I know i certainly wouldnt want my kids learning about sex from anyone but myself.
No, seriously, i just dont want some stranger teaching my kids 'their' view of how sex should be treated and what sex is all about.
a morality to go along with the physical aspects of sex
Who's morality?

The school has a moral obligation to teach any kid in there what sex is all about, the causes and effects of actions regarding sex, the ways to limit the spreading of diseases, etc. It´s their moral duty to do so.
the problem i find with the whole situation is that the school sex education system seems to say its ok and normal to have sex at your age..."you are going to do it so you might as well know how its done"... that method of instruction only serves to make kids think they are ready for sex because they know all about how not to get into trouble with it. And that is a huge problem because a lot of the problems with sex are not just physical but also psychological.
the school system just cannot prepare a young person for the emotional problems associate with premarital sex, or the feelings of being used by someone who didnt really care about you...the scars for some people are long lasting and the baggage is often carried around with them into other relationships.
I believe the best defense against all the problems of sex is abstinence and that is what kids should be encouraged to believe is normal behavior. But instead they are told sex is normal behavior so kids are inadvertently being pressured into sex before they are mature enough to really handle it.
No they dont. Its not their responsibility. They are just people who happen to work as teachers of various subjects. For all you know the person teaching your kids about sex is a pedophile. Is that the sort of person you want to be teaching your kids about sex?
no thankyou. I dont. I trust no one.
