Topic > Where should sex be taught? - 1437

The debate over where to teach sex education seems to be intensifying with each passing day. The rift continues to widen between those who believe that it should be a school obligation to teach sexual education to children and those who believe that it should be a duty of parents. This article provides a detailed analysis of the issue to make you more informed and help reduce the heat surrounding this debate. Schools are very crucial for the development of the child. Modern parents are so busy that they have no time to spend with their children. The economy alone cannot allow them, even if they really wanted to, to spend special moments with their children. This being the case, parents do not have the time to share pertinent intimate information about sexuality with their children. Therefore, the need arises to have someone else who can do that job very reliably and impartially. It turns out that schools or rather instructors spend most of their time with children and therefore form a central part of children's lives. Entrusting them with the responsibility of taking care of children's overall development is not an option. The overall development of children here includes sex education. Since any other education helps the child to develop, this should also be added to the list. Considering that the parents of these children are busy with very demanding schedules, teachers are the only solution to this problem and this confirms why sex education continues to be taught in schools. To always do the right thing requires a well-informed person. Education is the catalyst through which people learn to always do the right thing. Technocrats will say that it is in school that discipline is well instilled and it is... middle of paper... that parents are the people every child trusts. This trust and sense of security makes the child freely ask for or share sexual information with his parents. Knowing how caring parents are, they would not hesitate to counsel and teach their child accordingly on matters regarding his sexuality. In conclusion, both sides of the argument seem valid. Each side has a point. However, the simple truth is that sex education is necessary and, regardless of who delivers it, should not be up for debate. Raising a child is a collective responsibility that involves the entire community. This means that both teachers at school and parents at home need to work together to make this happen. The only point to be corrected should be the flaws that exist on both sides. Everyone should play their role, and once they do, sex education will be effective both at school and at home.
