Sex education is literally what it says.  Education about sex in terms of gender, diseases, the actual act itself, and usually topics that deal with reproduction.  I have taught sex education for 5 years, and in my curriculum, we talk first about the body and how it's different for males and females.  Then we move on to the reproductive system, and then to how reproduction works.  We don't spend most time on the actual act of sex, but we do talk about Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Infections and how they affect the body.  Education about reproduction typically describes the creation and development of a new human being, from conception and the development of the embryo and fetus, through to childbirth. It often includes topics such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and how to avoid them, as well as birth control methods.  Some curriculum discuss sex crimes and sexual assaults.  However in most of classes we don't discuss the assault issue.  Hopefully this answers your question.

Peace education is the process of acquiring the knowledge and developing the attitudes, skills, and behaviour to live in harmony with oneself and with others.\nPeace education is based on a philosophy that teaches nonviolence, love, compassion, trust, fairness, cooperation, respect, and a reverence for the human family and all life on our planet. It is a social practice with shared values to which anyone can make a significant contribution.\n\n********\n\nThe above is from Wikipedia.\n\nIn our school district it is the philosophy that underlies all subjects. It's not just intetllectually learning about peace, but practicing peaceful living as we learn.

yes, simply because a lot of domestic violence that takes place can be classified as sexual assualt and that information needs to be available to all students.  since probably all students are required to take some form of sex ed, then they will all be exposed to domestic violence information.

In 19th century Britain , it was used to explain sex to children by parents and teachers , using examples of birds nesting ( bringing up a family in the nest (home ) and Bees mating ( sleeping together ).it was euphemism for sex education when taught informally. The expression of the Birds and Bees ( like many )has survived to this day

No, I think to many people spend too much time tending other peoples business rather than tending their own.! \n Schools are suppose to be to teach a child math, to read, and write. Children's literacy has nothing to do with sex education. As for the school to sex educate a child, it should be against the law.!  People who think it's 'good', should look at the statistics.(since sex education started over 30 years ago), how many sex educated teens have gotten pregnant and/or became infected with diease and how many lives were lost. Then tell me it's helping. I think it teaches children sex is okay. And it's costing children's lives and well being. Just as people want to keep religion out of school because it's a personal chose, sex ed should also RETURN to being a parents, no matter if it's when someone else thinks it's the right time or not.! I think if they want to advise a child on it, first give birth to it. Or mind their own business.

Lack of sex education, and also it was denied in many countries that HIV virus led to AIDS. Using a condom is often though to be showing a lack of masculinity, and in some countries, sex with a young virgin girl was thought to cure AIDS

I personally think that it's in the student's best interest to taught about how to protect themselves. There should be a message in there about abstinence, though. People have to understand that no matter how much you tell students not to have sex and educate them about the risks, they're still going to do it. The best way to keep them safe is to educate them about how to be the safest they can and not have any life-ruining consequences come of it. If they aren't educated about protection and are only taught about abstinence, the students who decide to have sex regardless of being taught about abstinence will not know how to protect themselves correctly and could end up with an STD or pregnant.
