“Sex education is a very simple term used to describe a wide range of programs that aim to impart graphic and detailed sexual information to our children” (Sex Education ). Topics including sexual health, sexual reproduction and sexuality may be covered during the sex education course. Many of these topics can make parents uncomfortable when talking to their children. In today's world many children are overwhelmed by sexual advertising everywhere they look. Sexual advertising has been made easily available to children by being in a movie, on the cover of a magazine, or even in their favorite song. Sex education in public schools is an ongoing debate about whether it is possible to prevent abstinence and also educate students about teen pregnancy. Students can be taught the correct reproductive system term for sexually transmitted diseases and birth contraception instead of 'street jargon'” (Sex Pros and Cons of School Education). If students learned about sex and some of the harmful things that can happen if they are not the same, without that knowledge it could cause them great harm. During a sex education course, students will learn different ways to prevent unplanned pregnancies. Students would also be taught how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections. Sex education is the act of informing younger and adult generations about everything they need to know about sex (Pros and Cons of Sex Education in Schools). Many times students can be shy when it comes to the topic of sex and sometimes feel uncomfortable talking about their encounters. “The classes are gender exclusive. This avoids embarrassment among students and teaches them only what they need to know based on gender” (Sex education in schools, pros and cons). Having gender-exclusive sex education allows students to ask more questions in a safer environment. Many students, when asked about the topic of sex education, are more open to talking about it with their same sex because “Teachers are not always adequately trained to teach sex education and may violate their own beliefs or morals on the topic rather than continue with the facts” (Sexual education in schools: pros and cons). When teaching sex education, the teacher may impose their own thoughts on what they think students should do, rather than providing their students with adequate education on how to stay safe when they become sexually active. Educators now recognize that decision-making and communication skills should be included in secular education programs” (Landry). Many teachers may also feel uncomfortable talking about sex with their students because of their opinion. At the fifth and sixth grade "...class teachers represent the largest category of sexual education teachers (77%), while 13% are school nurses and 10% are physical or health education or science teachers”
