Someday I will write a sex education curriculum

[sweetnpetite]

There will be homework (it's not what you think!)

it will involve talking to your parents about what there values are, talking to your religious leaders (if any) talking to a religious leader that is different from your own and forming your own thoughts on the matter.

It will focus on HEALTH and information that will serve you all through your life. Yet it will deal w/ morals and values because I think that is a part of the issue. It won't TEACH values, it will teach you to clarify your values.

It will encourage independent and critical thinking.

It will stress that your body belongs to you. That NO ONE has the right to make decisions about your body except you-- that included your parents, your preachers and your boyfriend!

I honestly believe that girls who feel that descision is THEREs to make and not somebody elses would wait. But telling them what desicion to make only makes it harder to listen to there own internal voices.

Or course everyone would complain... HOW can we expect teens to make there own choices and WHY would we want them to understand there own bodies? Even though, of course they make there own choices all the time and they Don't understand their own bodies. That too me is what leads to tragedy.

That sounds like one I could get behind. Unfortunately, like much of society, our sex ed seems to be pulled by extremists. You get the abstinance only crowd, who refuse to listen to the fact that it isn't effective, or you get the crowd who actually encourages it, afraid that they won't seem cool otherwise. No one will ever convince me that it's good for 12-16 year-olds to have sex. If it was, it wouldn't be illegal for them to have it with older kids/adults. I don't need my daughter to think I'm cool, I need her to grow up without risking disease, pregnancy, or the kind of emotional upheaval that comes with an adult relationship. Once she is old enough (in my opinion) to make mature decisions, then I'll butt out. If I don't do a good enough job of raising her, then she'll resent me for not letting her act like all her friends. Being a teacher, I see plenty of teenage kids who don't feel that getting drunk/high and gang-banged is the norm.

Sounds like an excellent idea. Would you cover masturbation in that?

Yes, masturbation would be important to cover. Man it's such a touchy subject, and I remember how guilty I used to feel about it!

I think we'd have to talk about abortion too. That would be the scaryest part I think. LIke I said, I wouldn't teach WHAT to think about it, but HOW to think about it.

My class would be so borring! lol. I'd be making students write a LOT of papers and do a LOT of research!

 

[R. Richard]

Can I do the lab portion of the course? I will need some federal funding, but you will want your students to have the best that we can provide. I mean stop action replay cameras with frame by frame analysis, biomechanical analysis. Of course I will plan to use skilled instructors to give the students interaction with professional level operators. Best of all, there will be no mandatory home work, all you gotta' do is cum!

 

[sweetnpetite]

I think it would probably be in ongoing developement...

there is so much to cover.


It's a HUGE subject.

Ideally, the FULL expanded curriculum would span accross every school grade w/ age appropriate material at each level.

AS SOON as kids get to kindergarden and are in the same school (and BUS) with 5th graders, they start getting bad information... and even preschoolers have questions! (and they see things on tv)

no pun intended?

I remember making a "pact" with myself when I was like 13... "no more masturbating!" I think I made it for like six months... then one night I woke up from the most incredible wet dream, and I thought, "Hey! My body's doing this all on its own! Why shouldn't I help it?!"

Haven't stopped since.

I never banned myself. I never once thought it was wrong. I was a very enlightened child...

Why doesn't that shock me?

lol. no pun intended at all.

Congrats on going 6 months! lol.

sometimes I think it would be a good idea to ban it for a while, just to try to redirect all that energy to something else, but I guess I just don't have that kind of self control!

I can't believe how many people think it's "sinful" to touch your OWN body! and that I was even once one of them. geesh! I mean, ok, embarrasing, sure, but an actual SIN?! lol. crazy.

All this despite the fact that I have no idea how to respond when my 4 year old declares, "you and my daddy have SEX!" then laughs and refuses to discuss the topic any further. (all this in response to the word LOVE)

Your tootsies are pretty purr inducing as well.

Guess it's lucky that, against previous plnning, they'll be sticking around for a while then, huh?
