There are a lot of things that “some parents” neglect. That doesn’t mean I want to give the government permission to teach my children/grandchildren those things. I believe in abstinence. They don’t consider it. I believe there are only two sexes. The schools are teaching different. I believe the children should start learning it in the later years of grade school or, for some, even later. The government is putting it in the K-6 curriculum. I have also noticed that the government is failing to teach the basics of Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Science if many school districts.
As with most things the government puts its dirty paws on, I fear, it will screw this up. Have you seen the great success the government is having with The U.S. Postal Service and Amtrak?
Are you aware that there are many studies that show the crime rate of students who attended D.A.R.E classes is higher than those who haven’t?
Sorry, just a vent.
Thanks for your comment.

I think that you ought to publish more on this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but
generally people do not speak about these subjects. To the next!

Best wishes!!

BUT not all parents provide information needed by their child. In the 5th grade at IC a girl came to class bloody. She didn’t know what was going on. No one had told her about menstruation. She was sent to the nurses office. I don’t know what happened after that. I didn’t know what was happening with me either. Luckily my mother was doing laundry and noticed. All I could think was ‘how do I tell my mother how I cut myself there’.

IC did take matters seriously. They sent us on a field trip to The Museum of Science and Industry. They had a presentation on the human body. It wasn’t sex education but more like body education. They explained our physical bodies and what would be happening in the future.

Schools need to provide some kind of sex education since a lot of parents don’t provide any.
