Sex education

Well, the topic for today’s activity is free, so I went to website http://www.guardian.co.uk/ and I chose a very interesting new for me, it is called “Sex education interrupts”. I have chosen this article because it speaks about the sex lessons in the primary and secondary school and how this kind of education has been taught until now in United Kingdom. Besides I chose this article because de sexuality is a matter very important and interesting for me, for studying it and because the sexuality has to be showed and taught without myths, taboos, and in a very good form in all its expressions. Apart from this, the combination between psychology and sexuality is so exciting and interesting and the education context is the better way for examples it, I think. Now I will talk to you about this exciting article.

In UK the sex education is taught to children in the schools but is not obligatory for them and the parents have the right to opt out from this kind of lessons. But now, a government’s reviews to consider teaching sex education at primary and secondary schools but in a compulsory way. Before parents might to withdraw their children until the end secondary school (even sixth formers. Wow it’s unacceptable, I think).

This new government’s review contemplates the sex education in a wide context and they hope for 2011 a complete process. It means sex education as part of personal, social, health and economic curriculum and obligatory for children aged 15 and up. So the parent could opt out their children but until 15.

I consider this review perfectly for the moment because is a good way for a responsible education and with quality but the most important teenagers could take sensible decisions.
