Sex education is being taught all around the country, yet parents don’t know what their children are learning in health class.

From kindergarten through grade four, sex education teaches children about their bodies and attempts to promote a wholesome attitude toward the self as a growing person. Children are taught that males differ from females, and that both sexes are needed to produce offspring. In grades five and six, teachers introduce information that helps prepare the students for puberty. During these years, health teachers attempt to correct any false ideas about sexuality that the children may have learned. Most students reach puberty during grades seven through nine.

Parents need to ask their children what they learn in school in health class. Parents need to get more involved in their child’s life.
