I am a teacher and I understand your concerns. I teach kindergarten, so of course we do not get into sex, but boy do I hear a lot from them. Some of them hear it from older siblings and on tv and they say the correct words but do not know the meaning.

I hope what I am about to say does not offend or upset you.

Many children are having sex or experimenting with sex by the age of 12. We have had some 6th graders who have been suspended because they were caught in the bathroom. Luckily, we have never had pregnant 6th graders but it does happen. It is very unfortunate, and distressing to think about but it is a fact. I think when I we were growing, sex ed was to teach us about puberty and what happens to your body. I think now, it is ia precation to teach children about protection and how to stay disease and pregnancy free.
