When it comes to developing and implementing a sexual education curriculum for minor children, that sort of thing has to be done in a particular and delicate way. However, it is something that can and should be done. Indeed, it is important for children of all ages to know what they need to know before they learn on their own or from the wrong sources. Either one of those can lead to important things being missed and very big mistakes being made. Rather than allow for an information void to lead to a unplanned pregnancy or the contraction of a sexually transmitted disease, it is obviously preferable to inform the children what is important so that they are armed with the information when the time comes rather than after the fact.
Analysis
There are a few important dimensions and facets of a sexual education program that must be defined and mapped out. First of all, one of the common questions would be whether to separate the classrooms by gender. That is a loaded question, in and of itself, because there is a perceived different among many people when it comes go sex and gender. Sex, of course, is what is...
By contrast, the common knowledge of many is that gender is what is perceived and felt in the mind. A celebrity example of this distinction would be Caitlyn Jenner, born Bruce Jenner. From a biological standpoint, Bruce Jenner was most certainly born a man. However, he (now she) felt that she was a woman from a gender standpoint and now identifies as such (Advocates for Youth, 2017).
For that reason and a few others, the class should have everyone rather than trying to separate based on gender and/or sex. This is mainly because the students involved should be mature and composed when it comes to the matter. The main things to include, of course, would be what can be used and employed as a means to prevent pregnancy or the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. There would also be a discussion of the sex organs and how they work. For example, the monthly period of a young woman would be one thing that is talked about. Pleasure, while not something that need be dwelled on, should be mentioned in passing because it would be foolish…

Curriculum must provide principals special powers to organize the events overstepping conventions. (Burke, 1970) There could be widespread programs that could be conducted by NGOs.

In countries like England, Canada, Sweden, France and Holland, where the age at first intercourse is similar to that of the U.S., they have managed to keep the teenage pregnancy rates less than
Sex Education Annotated Bibliography One of the most divisive topics in education is undoubtedly the debate over the degree to which sexual health education should be incorporated into public schools. The topic attracts a great deal of impassioned argument for perspectives at either end of the spectrum of inclusion, ranging from advocacy of sexual education being left to the domain of family-based education in the home to the inclusion of contraceptive
In a report that aimed to give recommendations to the American Academy of Pediatrics' updated teen pregnancy policy, pediatric obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of Louisville, Dr. S. Paige Hertweck said "Teaching abstinence but not birth control makes it more likely that once teenagers initiate sexual activity they will have unsafe sex and contract sexually transmitted diseases."
