Throughout this blog experience our group has discussed many issues pertaining to Sexual Education, Drugs, and at what age should we be educating children on the issue of sex and safe sex. Our blog, entitled “How Young is too Young?”, refers to the earlier ages we are teaching children about these issues.
In this blog some important issues were raised, including:
- What is an appropriate age to be teaching sex education?
- Should it be taught earlier due to the risk of children receiving inaccurate information from other sources?
- Should this issue be left up to parents and is parental involvement necessary?
- To what degree should sex education be taught, is it an open forum (ie. Homosexuality)?
During the blogging interactions everyone in our group has been encouraged to see both sides of each issue, raising points and ideas that many of us had never thought about before. We were lucky to have a variety of viewpoints on the topics discussed, allowing everyone to get a fuller understanding of the issues. Throughout this experience we have grown to see and understand why this is such an important topic to the teachers and youth in today’s society.
There were no clear conclusions to any of the issues discussed, highlighting why this has been such a long debated issue within education.
