One thing I don't agree with though, the parents should have been notified (if they weren't) that their children would be going through sex ed, and given a choice to whether or not their child would participate. I believe it's really the parents' decision where and when their kids should learn about this stuff.
When the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me.
Shine until tomorrow... Let it be
It was just antomey not sex ed. I think sex ed should be a jr high class like it was for me. I don't think it will hurt the kid at all to know where the clitorise is. It's not liek he knows what it is or anything. Little strange how that got on that paper though.
I would have been 9 or 10 when my school did sex-ed for the first time. I don't remember if that particular part of the anatomy was referred to, though.
Did someone screw with something? I don't see sex ed anywhere in the topic.
Doesn't matter tho. I first took sex ed at that time, and its not like we actually learned about sex. We learned about the difference between boys and girls and that's about it.
I also had sex ed at age 12 and at age 13. Not in high school though. In high school sex ed was a personal endeavor.
hmm but shlup thats quite normal in high school everyone wants to get laid it's what everyone talks about almost constantly and some guys just never move on. Sex ed at 9 is normal heck my 8 year old nephew knows more about sex allready than what he'll be taught next year. One of my other nephews is about 10 and he was as dirty minded as me and my older bro (his dad) by the time he was 5 it's normal whats the problem?
People think that sex leads to the moral decay of society and that if we become mindless fornicators that it's NOT going to lead to world peace.
(If the world was a giant orgy, we'd be too busy and too tired to go to war ^_-)
I don't see a problem with it. Because of the horrible world we live in, children need to be made aware of these things at a younger age.
It'll do them good in the long run. *nod*

Damn straight, Zero, damn straight.
Sex ed in 4th grade? Never! It doesn't start until 5th grade here, but I skipped 5th grade and Sex ed wasn't a topic that I studied at home over the summer. So I didn't learn it until I was 10 years old in 6th grade. At that time, it was learning about what sex was. 7th grade and 8th grade were STDs. 9th grade was STD's and (finally) a bit of anatomy. But we never learned clitoris. This is the first time I've heard that term.
Well, yes, I never said it wasn't normal. To the contrary, I enjoyed self-education.
Personally, I think that sexual education is something that parentsd should teach their child, not schools. I believe that when I child get curious enough to ask their parents, it is the duty of said parents to explain everything about sex and the likes.
I do agree, however, that the parents should have been notified before their child was taught such things. I know here in IL, it was required by law that my parents were informed when I went through sex-ed. Then again, when I took it in fifth grade in New Jersey, they didn't even send how so much as a short memo.
If parents alone taught their kids sex ed then there'd be a lot more problems heck I know parents who can't even use the "Bees & The Bears" story to explain sex, Let alone seriously inform their kids on the dangers of STDs and why condoms should be used. This is because in western cultures sex is something that we are told is private to openly talk of it is embarassing and shameful. And sure most of us in our teens have an element of self education on sex but we all started out with the little given to us in schools at about 11 / 12 (year or grade 6 last year of being a junior school student before High school).

i agree with Fallen_Angel_666 on this one, i mean i could never approach my parents and ask about sex or any thing like that, and personaly i wouldn't want to. i got soem answers about anatomical things, but not sexual issues, also i think that-as Fallen_Angel_666 said-most parents would be unable or unwilling to explain about sex etc. one idea would be to teach all children the same stuff about sex etc at set ages, like at 10startt with anatomy and work up from there. but then parents would have a scranny becasue "there child ids being corrupted!" but all children need to be taught actual trues, not get most of there information from rummours on the playground-like it idd!
looking back, i knew alot about that stuff when i was nine, but i never had sex ed. i think that him knowing about all this in 4th grade is better than him never learning about it at all. i remember being in 8th grade and there was this kid who sincerly didnt know what mating was. i also remember my sister telling me about a girl when she was in 5th grade who didnt know what a vagina was. in my opinion thats a bad thing.
