I will say the other problem (if I'm being serious rather than sarcastic) is that we kind of have to pinpoint the best time to teach a class like that, and unfortunately that may not be a universal window even for kids of the same age group. I know that when I was in school, they did the stereotypical "separate all the boys and girls into different rooms and talk about their bodies" thing for me twice - in 4th or 5th grade we got the purely "clinical" lectures, and in 10th grade we got the "Okay, we're talking about sex now" class. But the problem is that most of us simply didn't care or process the information in any meaningful way in elementary school, and by high school most of us had already gotten our sex ed from other kids, porn, or some other source and mostly ignored everything they were trying to teach because "yeah, I already know all this" (I mean, if you're teaching this stuff when kids are 16 but they already know a girl who's a single mother at 14, you've kind of missed your opportunity). Right, there is mental maturity to consider. People grow in different ways at different rates. There are some basics that should be taught early, some warnings, and then there are more dedicated lessons not everyone is ready for by 12, 16, or 20 years old. These are things that need to be addressed, but I do not see that happening in the US or UK any time soon. Not in any meaningful manner. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg <cite>Entity13 posted [p:956594185] in Journalist...
