Sex Ed in kindergarten

[DrPhil]

Prettyface08, 4th and 5th grade is early to me. Your fastass classmates were having sex? Yuck. Their parents are probably failing at life.

We didn't have sex ed until either 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. I can't remember.

There are so many things that kids should be taught in kindergarten and sex ed isn't one of them. That's because we are using the title "sex ed." I hate the idea of kids not knowing how to solve a math problem but knowing how to put on a condom. If this was about human bodies, that would be okay at kindergarten. Then every year they can learn something new about the human body (so elementary school kids won't try to learn by flashing their body parts at each other) and eventually (by middle school) learn about the actual act of SEX.

I'm probably expressing the above sentiment different than I'm thinking it. Oh well.

When I lived in Indiana, we had sex-ed in 5th grade (though I don't remember any of my classmates having sex).

I don't remember those classes even being an option, though, past 5th grade (I lived in MD and TX and hadn't heard a thing about sex-ed classes).

And I thought you said "fatass" kids again

Well this is more about the biological aspect, as long as a bit on what is appropriate and not.

Fastarses and Mannish arses, INDEED! I agree and feel/felt the same way. Those are the kids I didn't play with. Maybe the reason I think that this is important is because of that. Most of them didn't even understand what the heck they were doing or what feelings they were supposed to have.

With kids getting pregnant at 12 and 13 (I personally knew people who were) middle school was too late. The deed was done. I think that parents need to educate their kids as well. Maybe if they talked to their children they wouldn't think, "All you have to do is lay down and let him do it", which is what one of my classmates told me about having sex.

As one of the more conservative people on GC, I'm all for it. Sex education, until a certain age, should be taught like biology, with "stranger danger" thrown in. By the time the kids get to 4-5th grade, the emotional aspect cam be added, then yes/no, birth control, abortion, etc. There was always the pros and the cons discussed, from religious objections to "can you deal with this 10 years from now?"

As I've said before, I graduated with over 700 people in my class, and there were only two pregnancies. When it comes to something like this, knowledge is definitely power.
