Are kids different from adults?

Yes, of course.

Children lack a level of...

1. maturity

2. self control

3. judgment

4. experience

while adults generally have those qualities, children have not had time to develop them yet.

That said, not all adults have all of those qualities either.

The idea of sex ed for kids is a little out of sync with the reality of the situation.

For one thing kids that young do know about babies, they have noticed pregnant women, and many are given education so they won't be abused, but its not some kind of teaching sexual techniques that they don't need, understand, or want. Sometimes it can just be proper language for private parts.

Kids are different from adults, they are immature, you can control who votes, who gets a drivers license, or gets carded, but the state cannot control the hormones of a fifteen year old.

The legal age of consent for sex carries with it the threat of jail for adults who have sex with those not in a position to give informed consent, the child having sex is not up for jail time.

In some states the legal age can go as low as fourteen, especially if the partner is not more than three years older.

Now in one state, there was one school district that wanted to have condoms available to fifth graders.

Most of whom are still at the girls have cooties stage.

But there are a few, not many, but a few who have passed that stage and are the size of sixteen year olds, and have already had hormonal changes, and they still have fifth grade minds and thought processes.

They do need the protection knowledge gives.

Kids do not make the best decisions, kids need to have solid facts if they do make the poor decision.

It won't hurt them, and with stds, it could make a significant difference in their future lives.

I am completely unaware of any teaching of sexual mechanics at any age in the public school system.

Of reproduction, protection from diseases, responsiblity yes, but mechanics no, perhaps you would be kind enough to share the source of that information with me?

it all comes down to the belief system of the government which sets the the boundaries on what is considered to be an adult activity and how old is a person old enough to take upon these 'adult' activities, which varys from a suburb, state or country.

It also comes down to the history of consent for sexual intercourse, legal drinking and driving age in that country or state and recommendation from researchers to the government that determine that legal age to do these activities. This could be high incidents of deaths of 16 year olds as a result of research that has prompted the govt to raise the legal driving age to 18.

Because kids can be pretty ignorant and make stupid decisions. That's what parents are for. I honestly wouldn't trust myself at the age of 16 to do anything in a well-executed and responsible manner.

In the case of sex ed, telling kids about sex at a young age (kindergarten-4th grade) is like giving them a loaded gun. They're not mature enough to handle that information. For the most part, they'll disregard all of the warnings that it's a mature adult thing to do, and they'll try to discover it for themselves because it's so novel.

Pertaining to sex ed for kindergarten, why do you persist in pretending that this program is teaching them the same things about sex as the program teaches 13 or 18 year olds?

You're basically ranting that they shouldn't teach kids that Uncle Chester isn't allowed to play naked games with them, as that is the chief focus of the programs for children this young.

Are you a pedophile who feels his job will be simpler if the kids are kept completely ignorant?

My objective when I supply my daughter a swat on her backside or hand is to get her interest and toughen authority. I never harm her, and that is coupled with reasons of what she won't be able to do. that is not my first reaction to her antics or disobedience, no longer achieved in anger EVER, and that is not achieved returned and returned. She is likewise too youthful to reason with or understand each and every thing she's instructed. i understand i'm a robust discern. i replaced into spanked similarly and that i've got no longer any thoughts of abuse from my mom and father! they're fantastic. i replaced into embarrassed, confident, whilst i replaced into spanked, yet whilst is that going to harm somebody? Humiliation isn't like embarrassment, like if i replaced into to spank my older newborn in front of his or her acquaintances, or for no good reason! a sprint swat coupled with distinctive varieties of self-discipline (loss of privileges, time outs, and so on) is a valid parental determination. All varieties of self-discipline could be approached heavily, so the punishments fairly in good shape the crime, and are achieved to objective and supreme undesirable behaviors, no longer intentionally wound our toddlers (bodily or emotionally). i do no longer think of that is incorrect if somebody chooses to no longer spank, yet we who decide for to are not unavoidably incorrect the two. :) i'm getting bored stiff in answering this question...

as different as daylight and dark. we need to get the Educaters to realize this and quit treating the kids as adults with all this sex education to preteens and let them be kids

A dog can't do CALCULUS...

A person under 7 - can't fathom sex.

The rules are there - because kids are too IGNORANT to know that they are OVER THEIR HEAD.

According to Democrats, no. There is no difference at all.
