How much geometry did you retain?
Then again, I am more interested in sex than angles.

OMG, sex is full of angles...before, during and after.

Plus the guy that taught you about angles, probably understood them.....

....what sort of qualifications does one need to teach others about sex?

Do you have to be an MD or a nurse or we going to make the assumption that any jr high teacher understands this stuff and agrees with the family values of all the students?

Can someone educated point out the top 5 things that are missing in sex education (for kids or congressmen), so that we are not just painting this broad brush? Does sex education include how to have sex, how to have babies, will it show people what types of sex are not ok and tell kids when it is morally ok to have an abortion? What is sex education?

These responses are a prime example of why there needs to be education in this area... you're all still going on like a bunch of knuckle-dragging goons... sex... sex... sex... there I said it... now go back to the locker room where you all belong.

Grow up.

And for all the people who think all Christians are against sex ed, my Catholic church and school taught it. (This was the the late 1970's)

Come on, I ask a simple question, what is appropriate or missing in sex information transfer?

The knuckle dragging comes when you are not comfortable answering such a simple question as to what to teach, but still demand it be taught. Knuckle dragging comes when people don't engage issues.

I am not sure why you said "sex... sex... sex... there I said it" what was your point?

Is there any limit to what we can mandate but not describe clearly? Who is qualified, surely not just high school teachers?

And what is the goal of sex education, what sort of different types of sex to you want people to have?

It seems to me the goals of some is to avoid people being gay or pregnant. One is not avoidable and the other is not sex education is education as to why to not have sex if you don't want a baby.

I am just asking people to stop painting a broad brush and you did nothing in your response to make the picture you would like to seen clearer except to stomp your foot and say you want it and others are dumb for wanting to understand what it is you want. You gave an LJesque response...specifically not engaging the issue.

Why not explain your point, you are on a discussion forum?

My point was the locker room quips and wink-wink statements in your question... "OMG, sex is full of angles...before, during and after," "Plus the guy that taught you about angles, probably understood them..." I am comfortable answering questions... when they are not peppered with school-yard rhetoric. You made a knuckle-dragging-locker-room-I'm-a-macho-male-objectifying (there... try translating that into a compound German word... "KnöchelZiehenlockerroomIchbineinmachomännlichObjektivierung") comment that I don't believe deserves an answer.

So we will leave it at that, you just want it and I have too much of a sense of humor on this topic that I find kinda silly (the fact that we need official organized sex classes taught by the govt). I don't know what it is and apparently the fact that I made lite of a subject that you don't feel comfortable making lite of is exactly why we live in a society that is perceived to need sex education...it can only be talked about in a certain way in a certain official format, but again, one we wont discuss or explain, but still demand.

Posting your picture or that picture and real name or that name don't make your avoidance of discussions any more sincere. In fact, quite the opposite.

By the way, have you looked at the stats from when they started sex education, you know back when teen pregnancy and STDs were going down....then we started public sex ed and both took a turn for the worse and then folks like you kept flying the flag that we have to keep doing more of what seemed to cause the problem in the first place in order to solve it. Feel free to review Thomas Sowell's work on this topic.

The problem was not more education, it was the concept of the state will just take care of this, so we can be lazy on this as parents and communities. This is what central planners do, make you think they are improving something, it gets worse and they justify the same techniques they used to create the problem to solve it. Perhaps it just is not enough sex education....yeah right.....lazy parents and stuffed shirts feeling like talking about angles and sex is too childlike.

Again, how much class does it take to tell people that screwing can make babies and pass nasty sores...people that already know it anyway?

Can you tell me what sex education's goal is and why this is something that the average high school teacher needs to take care of vs. anyone who cares more about the kid or knows more about either them or the topic at hand. What should be taught that is not and how to we qualify the teachers?

What do you know about sex that you think should be passed on to the kids that don't? Honestly, if you cannot explain it here even in summary, how can you expect 100,000 average HS teachers to add more of this to their already failing experiment agenda?
