should sex ed be taught at school or at home?


Question:
some people think that it is the sole responsibility of parents, not of teachers, to give children information about sex. They say that education is a private matter and it does not belong in schools. Others say that sex education may be neglected at home in that schools should share this responsibility. What do you think? choose one alternative and explain why

Answers:
Ideally, it should be taught at home. But it's not. So it needs to be taught at school. In an ideal world, parents would talk to their kids about everything they needed to know related to sexual matters, and kids would be comfortable talking to their parents. But we don't live in an ideal world. Most kids aren't comfortable talking to their parents about sex, most parents aren't comfortable talking to their kids about it, and even if they are they may not have accurate information. And there's also a significant population of kids with no real parental support at all. Given that it's extremely important that kids know the risks associated with sex, and how to minimize them, and also what to expect as they go through puberty, and we clearly can't rely on parents to ensure that their kids get this information, it needs to be taught in schools.
Both, because everyones going to learn about it sooner or later
