“Sex education is a very basic term used to describe a wide range of programs aimed at imparting graphic and detailed sexual information to our children” (Sex education). During the sex education class, topics such as sexual health, sexual reproduction and sexuality can be covered. Many of these topics can make parents uncomfortable when talking to their children. In today's world, many children are inundated with sexual advertisements everywhere they look. Sexual advertising is easily accessible to children by placing it in a movie, on a magazine cover or even in their favorite song. Sex education in public schools is the subject of ongoing debate over whether it prevents abstinence and educates students about teen pregnancy. Students can also learn the correct term for sexually transmitted disease reproductive system and contraceptive delivery instead of "street slang" (Sex Advantages and Disadvantages of Education in Schools). If students learned more about sex and some of the harmful things that can happen if they are not the same, then without this knowledge it could cause them great harm. During a sex education class, students would learn about different ways to prevent unplanned pregnancies. Students would also learn how to protect themselves against sexually transmitted infections. Sex education involves informing younger and adult generations about everything they need to know about sex (pros and cons of sex education at school). Often, students can be shy when it comes to sex and may sometimes feel uncomfortable talking about their own encounters. “The courses are gender exclusive. This avoids embarrassment for students and only teaches them what they need to know based on gender” (Sex Education in Schools Pros and Cons). Making sex education gender-exclusive allows students to ask more questions in a safer environment. Many students surveyed on the topic of sex education are more willing to talk about it with the same gender as them, because "teachers are not always adequately trained to teach sex education and may violate their own beliefs or morals on the subject rather than continuing. the facts” (For and against sex education at school). When teaching sex education, the teacher could potentially impose their own ideas about what they think students should do, rather than providing their students with proper education on how to stay safe when become sexually active. Educators now recognize that decision-making and communication skills should be covered in safety education programs” (Landry). Many teachers might also feel uncomfortable talking about sexuality with their students because of their own opinions. In the fifth and sixth grades “…classroom teachers constitute the largest category of sex education teachers (77%), while 13% are school nurses and 10% are physical education, health or scientist.”
