After this weeks class discussions, I have started to think more seriously about home schooling my children. This article discusses sex education in the NYC public school system. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/mandatory-sex-ed-curriculum-new-york-city-public-schools-132404248.html?dr
I think it is the parent's responsibility to discuss sexuality with their children. Children mature at different levels and parents know their children better than anyone else. Some might be ready to have "the talk" at younger ages than others and the state should have no say in the matter. I think it would be a much smarter idea to teach about healthy relationships in school rather than mandatory sex education classes. Kids should know how to have crushes, boyfriends, and girlfriends without experimenting with sex.
