Have you ever heard the saying curiosity kills the cat? Well curiosity is going to cause more babies if people don’t open their eyes to the point of sex education. In July of 2010, Montana Parents from Helena County rallied together to object to the school district’s proposal for sex education starting as early as kindergarten.
The point of sex education is to inform not to make children more curious. As a kindergartener, I wanted to play and get messy, and I really looked forward to nap and recess time. I cannot and will not imagine my children being taught sex education in elementary school. According to Fox News the county has allowed some parents to opt out of the class for their children, but sex education does not belong in an elementary school. At the age, children have wonderful imaginations, which allow them to live free and be happy, as children should be. They should continue to play mommy and daddy but not know that daddy has to penetrate mommy to bring sister or brother into the world. Now that is ridiculous! My first sex education course was in the 7th grade. Even though we were being taught abstinence is the only 100% way to stay free of STDs and pregnancy, my classmates still were curious. Boys starting sneaking into the girls showers after PE, and doing things that are not to be done in the 7th grade. They were very immature and did not handle the lesson like the school thought they would. Not saying that at age 12 boys aren’t curious but school is not a place for that curiosity.
I honestly believe that sex education at such a young age should be left to the discretion of the child’s family. Teaching them the scientific words for their private parts is completely ripping their innocence from their imaginations. Yes teen pregnancies are increasing, but do we want 9 year olds to start getting pregnant right after they start their menstrual. Parents should step up and be parents. Stop depending on life to teach your children the lessons they should be taught at home.
