TOPIC Should sex education be taught in public schools?

Argument 1:

1. Sex education can offer the proper source of information on how to communicate their sexual problems.

2. Sec education will make sure that the younger generation of students the importance of consent.

3. Sex education can teach students the practice of safe sex.

Sex education is important and should be taught in public schools to help inform students on the importance of safe sex.

Argument 2:

1. Some teachers may not be adequately trained to teach students.

2. Sex education can hurt the religious beliefs of younger students.

3. Have control over the class during this subject can be difficult for some teachers.

I believe that sex education should be taught in public schools to help students have a well- rounded education about their thoughts and their bodies. Being educated on pregnancy, and STDS and they are transmitted sexual, and the signs and symptoms of an STD. Sex education can always help make them aware of the Do's and Don'ts while having a sexual relationship and how important it is to respect another person sexually. To be honest sex is all over TV most young students are very aware of how sex works and mort are curious so why not as a teach help them understand and educate them on it so that they can be safer when they make the decision to have sex. Learning how to be safe at a young age can also help when they become adults.
