As children reach the adolescence stage of their lives, they become more interested in sex. This age range is usually around grade 7 or 8. Looking at the statistics laid out in the article “Factors Affecting Sex Education in the School System”, it is notable that like other developed nations, the United States has high rates of sexual activity. But they also have one of the highest rates for teen pregnancy, birth, and abortion. These teens and young adults face 10% of all births in the US as well as 9.5 million new cases of STI’s (Woo, 142). Any efforts to delay sexual interactions among adolescence are often done through sex education through the school system.
Argued throughout the article is whether or not schools are including enough in their curriculums about sex education. Most schools incorporate topics that are deemed necessary, such as HIV/AIDS or STIs and abstinence but lack information for contraception, abortion, or sexual orientation. There is a lack for established sex education curricula (Woo, 142) and many school districts allow teachers to pick and choose what they want to teach. The study done within the article states that nearly 20% of health teachers for grades 7 and 8 do not cover any sex education topics and only 50% integrate a comprehensive sex education curriculum.
To further my take on this subject I want to dive further into why curriculum is so vague for sex education. I also want to look into why some school districts think it is unnecessary to teach sex education to impressionable students. I would like to incorporate some curriculum scholars into my paper as well in order to further my understanding of this topic. I think it would be beneficial to look into what some educational scholars have to say about sex education and its connection to the curriculum.

Hello would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price? Thanks, I appreciate it!|

Wow, this piece of writing is nice, mmy younger sister is analyzing
thesse kinds of things, so I am going to let know
her.
Thank you!
Throughout this awesome design of things you get an A just for effort. Where exactly you actually confused us ended up being on the details. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be more true in this article. Having said that, let me say to you just what did deliver the results. The article (parts of it) is certainly pretty persuasive which is probably why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can certainly see a jumps in reasoning you make, I am definitely not confident of exactly how you seem to unite the details which make your final result. For now I will subscribe to your point but trust in the near future you actually connect the dots better.
Thank you for the feedback and I will try to work harder to making my arguments stronger and more precise. I did find this topic was harder to write about because it was the setup for an assignment in one of my classes, however I ended up changing the direction of my work for the actual assignment simply because I found this topic challenging for myself to write about. I will consider your feedback in the future, thanks!
What i don’t realize is actually how you are now not really much more neatly-appreciated than you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You realize thus significantly in terms of this topic, made me personally consider it from a lot of various angles. Its like men and women are not involved until it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs nice. At all times care for it up!
Thanks for commenting and leaving feedback!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?|
Hello Catina,
Thank you for your feedback. I do hope to use this webpage more in the future for posting but for now it is a way for me to express what I’ve learned in my classes at school. Many of the posts are relating to stuff I did in class.
I like the valuable information you provide in your articles. I抣l bookmark your blog and check again here regularly. I’m quite sure I will learn many new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate the feedback and I hope to write more on this site in the future.
