When it comes to parents teaching their child about sex and sexual health, everyone has a different idea. Some say that it is best to teach the child themselves then others say that it is best to let the schools take care of it. Lately I have been hearing that it is "bad parenting" to let your child learn about sex through the school. I do not agree.
I believe that parents should ask their children if they would like to be taught by the school or their parents. That is the best way to handle this situation. The child may not feel confortable being taught one way so it would be best for him or her to be taught another way in the way that they do feel fine. I believe that giving the child a choice in this situstion is the best kind of parenting.

I agree with you, kids may feel more comfortable discussing such topics with parents, then teachers!
I disagree. Parents and kids should be able to talk about everything together. I know that in my schools they don't teach about that stuff at all. They stay away from that topic. So parents shouldn't assume that the school is going to teach them. Also, schools just give the facts. They don't teach morals and I don't think you can get away from that. If you talk about sex, you have to talk about morals. .. or the lack thereof.
I think that the parents should talk to their kids.
I don't know. My parents never taught me about sex, and I was eighteen when I finally found out what really happens during sex. I'm a loser, sue me.
problem with that is by the time schools get to it, if they do at all, in many cases, sad though it may be, it's already too late.
Ideally, both the schools and parents ought to be involved. Parents can give a general overview and schools can fill in technical details that parents might not be aware of.
