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:
It is the responsibilty of the schools and the parents - so many people don't even know that STDs can be transmitted orally and even more don't know that STDs including HIV don't show any physical symptoms 99% of the time - that is absurd!!

Some parents do not feel comfortable discussing this with their kids which is not right but it happens.. we talk about all kinds of information in schools - all of those things they tell you that you will need that you never do but this one - everyone needs this education and it is severely lacking and there is no excuse for it.

Education is not a private matter - that is why schools exist - to educate and what is the point of giving an education of things that people may never use but the few things that could save their lives - they neglect - this is something that has to be shared - everyone should assume that no one else has done it and do it themselves - then parents would do it and schools would and the "lessons" would be reinforced but that doesn't happen now.. and it is such a shame.

We have a right to give kids an education - not just about theorums and history and culture - about society now - about sexuality - about the risks - about awareness.. all of this should be taught - over and over and over again.. sexual awareness and ed and even more drug, alcohol and tobacco info - info on pedophiles and situations that are not safe.

It is not that the schools have to go into private matters but a general education - more focusing on the risks involved- like pregnancy and birth control options - STDs and the symptoms - these are essential to life -

It is ignorance that spreads - it is contagious and some of these answers say home - how can anyone say that - how can anyone risk those childrens' lives where their parents may not educate them about this and what about the kids who do not have parents - what then - how ever would they learn??

We are living in a society that seems to get worse by the day yet we still have tons of people who just stand by and do nothing and it is time to take some action - parents and schools both owe it to the kids - they are both educators in a childs' life and we owe it to them - we owe them a future and a chance ~

Both..since many parents dont like to talk about it...the mechanics and saftey issues should be taught in schools, the moral issues at home
