What Are Some Reasons Why Public Schools Should Teach Comprehensive Sex Education?
Monday, December 28th, 2009I am writing an English paper on the sex education debate. I believe comprehensive sex education should be taught in public schools (not just abstinence-only), but I can’t think of any more reasons. These are the reasons I have so far:
1. To prevent teen pregnancy and STD’s (by teaching contraceptive methods, etc)
2. To educate students about their bodies and urges
Can you think of any more? I need specific reasons, not just “because abstinence-only doesn’t work.”
Thanks!
