Answer 1

I am concerned about pedophile teachers using sex education as a way to "get closer" to these children who really don't know right from wrong when it comes to someone touching their bodies.



What if the teacher uses a student to demonstrate what is appropriate touching and what is not by actually touching and asking how they feel about it, etc.



There are a lot of sick people in the world and this includes teachers, priests and parents. I do think that it is important for children to understand that they have a choice if someone is touching them or worse.



Why can't specially trained police officers - those who are trained to respond to rape and incest - go to the classroom at the beginning of the year and "educate" the children while offering protection? Children are told that something bad will happen if they tell anyone, but an officer is someone that the child doesn't have to see on a daily basis and therefore feel ashamed to tell like they would if their teacher knows about their "secret".



I don't believe this kind of sex education is something that a regular school teacher is qualified for. And I don't believe it should be considered sex education. Unless a person has been specially trained to work with children who have been sexually abused, they should not be in front of a classroom trying to explain it. They could unintentionally make a situation worse for a child who is already in this situation and is being threatened.



Teachers should be teaching reading, writing, math, etc. along with other educational programs that have been proven to make their minds think faster like learning music.



Preventing sexual abuse to children should be a cooperative measure between the law officers and teachers. A child needs to feel safe with the teacher so that they can tell them that they need help - not tell them something they already know.



So no, I do not believe that "sex education" for kindergarten children is appropriate by a school teacher. However, I do think that our local law enforcement should have established programs that they teach to children at every level at the school, just like the fire department needs to teach children what to do in case of a fire. Let the appropriate officials get involved and become a part of the prevention of sexual abuse.

Answer 2

No, I do not want any more of the ____, as you put it. Now they want to interfer with a parent's right to teach their children about sex in their own way -like including morals for example. This is way to much interference in a family's upbringing of their children. Health class in 5th grade is one thing, but sex education in Kindergarten dictated by government and taught by liberal teachers is the last straw.

Answer 3

People seem to panic when they hear the word sex applied to young childrens education. It used to be called playing doctor when I was five or so. I don't think any politiician is suggesting we show five year old kids how to properly use a condom or the variety of sexual positions or discuss masturbation and oral sex. I think they want kids to know how to avoid sexual predators and to do that they must have some limited, age appropriate knowledge of what sex is. They won't be sending them home to watch mommy and daddy do it as a homework assignment. It is unfortunate that we live in a time where sexual predators are so dangerous that our kids need this kind of information that early but we do and so a curriculum that helps them understand is probably the best way. Parents usually are terrible at figuring out how to tell them and how much to tell them.

Answer 4

Mitt did n't have a problem with age specific sex education when he was running for gov of Mass. Now all of a sudden its another flip on his previous position.

If we weren't so messed up about sex in the first place no one would have a problem about teaching it as a scientific course, children have no problems understanding basic reproduction and it can be presented simply enough so that kids don't all think they came from under cabbage leaves.

Even if that's what you want to teach them until they are eighteen.

In todays world, ignorance is NOT bliss.

Answer 5

Why must parents today expect someone raise their children?

Sure kids should understand things about strangers touching and etc. but sex ed? As far as the Stork story goes, they believe in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, and talking purple dinosaurs so why not a stork? They will grow up fast enough. Parents need to grow up and raise their own kids not just push them off on someone else after they have them.

Answer 6

Sex Education for Kindergarten Students . . .

Only if it's the "Good touch Bad Touch program"!!!! Which teaches children the difference between a loving touch (as in hugs and kisses, which all children should get) and a violating touch and what to do if someone where to violate them.

Answer 7

Politicians DO have the right to make these kinds of decisions for us! That is exactly why they were elected! Now, this decision doesn't sound like a very well-considered one, and if it is so bad that enough people object, I'm sure that they will respond at the polls next time we have an ELECTION! Then you elect people who feel strongly about this issue and have these laws and programs removed. But politicians have been making these decisions like these for you since we established a representative form of government. They decided that seat belts should be worn (taking away a certain amount of freedom of choice), they decided that the speed limit should be lowered to 55 and then raised once the fuel crunch was over, they decided to suspend certain personal liberties in the name of Homeland Security right after 9-11, and they will continue to make these decisions for us as long as they represent us in the law-making body of our government. Grow up and vote next time!

Answer 8

If it were called "Health Education" instead of using that scary word "sex" would you be ok with it?



Children need to know about their bodies. And from what I see, parents are simply ignoring their personal responsibility to TEACH them anything.



Anything at all.

Answer 9

i don't think of it is going to end the interest even even though it is going to tutor them top of the do's and don't of intercourse. maximum of those babies study approximately intercourse in basic terms via pornographic components which would not tutor them lots fairly approximately secure intercourse, sexually transmitted ailments and relationships between the alternative intercourse. i replace into waiting to speak with a Filipino teen approximately intercourse coaching. What i found out replace into stunning! His nevertheless thinks that pouring Sprite or softdrinks on the female organ kills the germs or semen. A softdrink or soda is "acidic" and can consequently preclude being pregnant! which you do not use condoms fairly if the girl remains a virgin. That AIDS-HIV is a affliction unique to gay human beings and individuals like him would desire to never get contaminated. No ask your self AIDS-HIV in the Philippines is transforming into at an alarming fee. regrettably the Catholic Church in the Philippines opposes this type of coaching in any respect ranges. in reality they have aggressively lobbied against a regulation which meant to introduce start administration and different reproductive strategies for women individuals in the Philippines. The regulation replace into never handed. We would desire to stand the reality that youngsters have become aggressive and could want to test fairly with intercourse. whether we tutor them or not, they're going to do it besides using fact of peer tension. we would besides tutor them in wish they replace into greater accountable for themselves and sidestep getting ailments or worst get pregnant at an fairly early age.

Answer 10

Parents need to be the main Educator. Teachers could have bad opinions of sex, OR NO NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!



As for Kindergarten Students thats just silly.

Answer 11

This is wrong, but it is up to us parents to DEMAND that our children get the education that we pay for!

Answer 12

there is nothing wrong with age-appropreate sex ed.



this way we stop silly stories like the stork (babies come from people, especially women who carry them) and ensure children know they shouldn't have parts of their bodies touched. they should also know what the touching really is- a crime, molestation- so they do not fall for lies like 'its a game'.
