Sex Education and the American Family

For many years, in the American family, there is a question "Does the school educate sex education?" And many schools agreed that school not allow children to educate sex education. As everywhere in the country, this is "parent's responsibility", some families think that this money should not be used for sex education, especially for public education. But one problem still remains, why do not people discuss sex with their children, and whether lack of communication between children and parents can affect their future.

The discussion on whether to get sex education at an American school is over. In a new opinion poll by NPR, the Caesars Family Foundation and the Kennedy Government University of Harvard University, only 7% think that sex education should not be taught in schools in the United States. In addition, there is little debate about what sex education should be taught in most places, but there is still controversy. Parents are usually satisfied with sex education provided by children's schools (see "Parent's Approval" sidebar). The principal of a public school is a parallel study of schools of NPR / Kaiser / Kennedy and reports that the community has few sex education. There was a serious conflict. Nearly three quarters (74%) of the principal said that they have not recently discussed or discussed the contents of sex education at the PTA, the Board of Education, or other public meetings.

For many years the American family has asked "Is school educating sex education?" Many families agree that schools do not want children to be educated about sex education. - Today's children and adolescents distinguish between good and evil based on their previous knowledge. The education they receive plays an important role in the way decisions are made. Sex is a controversial topic and it often occurs in the life of a child. According to how to teach, a child's decision may change his / her life forever.

Estimates of the level of sex education at American schools are strongly influenced by the observer's emphasis on the content of gender in the family life course. In the presidential speech of the National Family Relations Committee on August 16, 1956, Judson T. Landis made an optimistic report on the development of these courses; he pointed out that more than 1,100 teachers taught at the university level Landis pointed out that the focus is on the quality of human relations. It is not basic information, family life. "Sexual facts are only a part of basic education, gender must take into account the full relationship with personality," he said.
