I really enjoyed tonight’s class on Sexual Development. I thought the exercise that we did as a class where we were all able to voice our opinions on different statements regarding sexual development was very interesting. Not only was it good to hear others opinions and perspectives, there were also some statements that made us think on different levels about the issue.
Sexual Development and when it is age appropriate to teach has always been a major concern in education. Who’s to say when children are ready to learn about sex because kids are all maturing at different ages and during different times of their life. I believe that kids should be educated during their elementary years and not just on puberty but on different concerns and issues when it comes to sex. I thought this was a great way for everyone in the class to be involved and for each student’s voice to be heard.
