Oh Lord. Aren't kids growing up too fast as it is? The only thing an 8 year old needs to know about sex is to stay away from it.
everybody know its the school job to sex educate our youg kids.
Yes, 10:07, you're right, but an 8-year-old needs to know something about it in order to stay away from it. Most of the "experts" say that, if a child is old enough to ask questions about sex, they should be answered as forthrightly as possible. Nowadays, some 8-year-old girls are getting their periods and showing other signs of entering puberty.

OMG! I must be way behind the times. You're correct in saying if they ask they should get honest answers.
I just hope I am never asked by an 8 year old. I would probably be more embarrassed than her
10:48 you are a fool. It is not the schools job to promote sex discussions. It is their job to teach the basics (reading, math etc...) No wonder our children slip in the educational rankings every year compared to other countries. Our schools are a mess.
I'm not sure that I'm the fool here. You sound far-removed from your own school days. Yes, then we (I'm a retired teacher) taught the "basics,"certainly not sex education or other subjects that are commonly found in schools. But think how much society has changed since you and I attended school. (I'm a product of the '50's). If all parents did their job, then the schools could concentrate on "basics." Unfortunately, many parents simply don't have the parenting skills that most of us had growing up.
One more thing: Why do those of you who disagree with someone's point of view insist on calling that person a fool, idiot, or moron. Such name-calling tells us much about you. Yes, I did imply in my first sentence that you are a fool;the need for my explanation to you only reinforces that view.
would you rather have bill clinton explain it to her?
