Most parents are not experts in all aspects of human sexuality. They are ill-equiped to teach their kids everything their kids need to know about sex.Paul Sunstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462598852553696040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489111.post-66279268183641099972007-05-10T06:52:00.000-06:002007-05-10T06:52:00.000-06:00...except that half of all marriages end in divorc......except that half of all marriages end in divorce now, and kids have very strained relationships with their estranged parents. In practice the school is the only remaining safety net of much-needed authority, and they should start using that authority more wisely.george.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893495384863805805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489111.post-30710258246323998122007-05-09T20:17:00.000-06:002007-05-09T20:17:00.000-06:00Actually, I believe that sex education should be h...Actually, I believe that sex education should be handled by parents instead of the school. The government's lagging in the Law proves it.<BR/><BR/>A kid will listen more to his father or mother (or both) about the subject of sex education than the teacher. The home is the best place to learn about puberty. For what it's worth.Eltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111706553184455710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489111.post-88861897905814798602007-05-09T20:05:00.000-06:002007-05-09T20:05:00.000-06:00...or to tell kids the truth about anything.

For example, when you tell kids that one puff on a joint will turn them into monsters, and they know lots of people who toke, who appear just fine, they stop believing you when you tell them things. And you never know, someday you might need to tell them something that is both true and important.<BR/><BR/>Kids can spot logical inconsistencies.

If ten percent of condoms fail, shouldn't every legal prostitute in the world have AIDS?george.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893495384863805805noreply@blogger.com
