Is third grade too early for sex ed.?

Are you kidding me?  The reason that 10 and 12 year olds are having sex is becasuse parents are not teaching their children that it is inappoprate activites for a person of their age.

We can teach children about sex but we need to keep it appoprate to their age.  We dont need to go into all the details with a 3rd grader that we would with say a 13 year old or a 16 year old.  Parents have gotten lazy and allowed the world to dictate what is taught to their children and when.

Yes there are times that our children will make bad choices but that dosnt mean we throw out all reason and discretion.  When they hit these times our mark should be to get them through it rather than trying to fix or ignore the situation.

There is still a thing called personal accountability.
