From a teacher's point of view, students certainly behave differently in single - sex classes.  I am a male teaching high school classes, and I have found that girls are more likely to be discipline problems when there are no boys in the classroom.  Boys are a little rougher in single sex classes, but are not distracted as easily.  All in all, I'd rather teach classes with both boys and girls.  This is just the result of my personal observation.

"Taught" in school.\n\nDon't worry about sex ed, fix your English first.

HUGE deal...If you're teaching you're in a position of power, it doesn't matter if the student is the one who "made the first more" or not. Your judgement is being trusted by parents and school officals. If you're smart enough to teach a class, then you should be smart enough to know better than to have sex with anyone under your authority.

Girls going to single sex schools on the whole do better than girls who go to mixed schools. \n\nPart of the reason is thought to be the distraction caused by boys and then boyfriends.\n\nI would surmise that boyfriends take part of a girls attention away from the task at hand. \n\nSo in most cases they would be detrimental.\n\nHowever it depends on the boy and the girl and I would suppose that some other areas of learning IE about the opposite sex is useful in the long term.

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.

Sex is the world's oldest profession. It's been here since the very beginning of mankind. In my opinion it is indeed a natural thing.  So go for it!

I guess Yahoo Answers has asterisked-out your word, but if you're asking about m-a-s-t-u-r-bation, no, it is not harmful. In fact, it is beneficial because by so doing, you learn about your own sexuality, and when you are ready for a sexual relationship with another person, you will be in a better position. Good luck, and have fun with yourself! ;)

We guys were not even allowed in the gym when the girls were in there, much less being stuck dancing with them.  Once in high school I saw a class of girls in their gym clothes - they were out on the archery range.  Us guys were not even allowed out of the building while the girls were doing that.  Guess administration thought they were guarding our morals or some such foolishness.  Didn't do much good; our community had one of the highest rates of teenage illegitimate pregnancy in the country...which really teed me off, 'cause I couldn't get a date with the sluttiest girl in a graduating class of six hundred all through my four years of high school.

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.

I think that virtually everything is related to each other, when it comes to our physical and emotional connections. I tell my choir students that living a healthy and strong lifestyle builds a stronger vocal instument - and it does. Strength training is good for practically everything (if done correctly, with a trainer initially) It builds and maintains sexual desire; it builds self-confidence and esteem (which is certainly related to good sexual expression) since it has the potential to dramatically alter one's body shape; and it even builds cardiovascular strength and endurance. All of this is beneficial to one's sex life.

I agree with all, but caution that #7 should be noted to only included adults and that children are not involved. It is good to explain sex to children but not to openly show it to them. \n\nBlessed Be )O(

Children at the upper primary school level should be taught. But there is a difference between sex education and sexuality education. Also, it depends on the values that the society wants to advocate. Abstinence? Or Safe Sex?

Not at all. If they are a good teacher, they are a good teacher. Put it this way; do you recall being influenced by your teachers sexuality one bit? I know I ceratinly wasn't. Things like homosexuality are part of the world, hiding it away from kids is not the answer.

I have been to college myself. I never heard of Kissology (the study of kisses) 101. that is pretty funny, but maybe he is right.  Did you know that kissing can be considered a sexual act within itself?  After I read that, I stopped kissing around.  (I am so giggly right now, i have got to go.)

If your sex-ed class includes talking about STDs, I know of a good activity you can use.\n\nHave several different types of candy to hand out to the class. (Like 6 hershey kisses, 5 jolly ranchers, 3 jawbreakers, etc)\n\nOnce everyone has a piece of candy, say "If you would like to trade candy with anyone, do it now. You have 5 seconds."\n\nOnce everyone has traded, say "Okay everyone who has a JOLLY RANCHER has a sexually transmitted disease (or you can use a specific one)."\n\nYou can make the number of "infected candies" proportional to STD statistics and the number of kids in your class.\n\nThis will teach them about the stats involved and how easily STDs can be "traded" between people.

Gender exclusive schools, (some academies or finishing school) offer a more focused environment. Since teens and beyond is also the time most young adults become interested in sex, removing the temptation is helpful.

I love it personally, but it does not suit everybody as you need a lot of self discipline and motivation and so on... so be careful don't tak ethem to avoid the hassle of going to classes take them seriously and you may learn even more than anybody else attending regular classes.
