Why does the U.N. think it has any business telling every society on earth when they should teach what to whose kids? Here's what we should start teaching kids by age 5: Screw the U.N., and if they come near you, kill 'em.

5-8 year olds? A little young for that, and by the time they are old enough, they won't need to be taught

Seriously though, I think the school curriculum doesn't need to have this as a mandatory requirement. We should be worried about our kids learning math, science, literature, history, and how to think for themselves. There is enough sex EVERYwhere in today's modern society.

Is it just me or is there something not quite right about telling 5-year-olds that touching your private parts is pleasurable? I'm missing something, right?!

I can imagine 5 or 6 yr old kids at the White House fence with signs saying "I'm entitled to my sex rights." Probably one of the boys be carrying an assault rifle as well, as to I'm entitled to having a firearm.

Great. Forget math, forget english, forget history.

Let's teach jonny how to. . . .

As if our schools aren't dumbing down enough already.

-sigh-

Class? Can you say, "home school?"

4th Period class masturbation time. How to prevent climaxation for 50 minutes while rubbing yourself. A failing grade if you climax before 5 minutes.

Great, another class that I would fail

Sorry, TMI. But yeah, this has no place in school. I know it's not the best way for kids to learn, but TV/movies and the internet will "educate" the young, regardless of how you hard you try to not expose your kids to them.

5-8 is FAR too old to be taught about masturbation. I had to have that talk with my daughter at age 3 as it was getting a little too embarrassing when she would relieve herself in public and mixed company.

I didn't want to give her a complex about it, as I think it is something very healthy we all should do probably more often than we do, but out of sight and out of mind. I just explained to my daughter that "somethings are private and you don't do in public." No further explanations required. Ever since then she takes 3 hour baths and I don't have to worry about having any more awkward conversations with her about the subject.

Really, is it the proper place for schools to teach about Masturbation?

Sexual education however, I'm all for. I know I benefited from it, and have seen what happens to people who don't receive the benefits of Sexual Education ("What do you mean you only have one penis! I thought you were supposed to have three! We are so breaking up!").

ok, really and literally, this si SICK and perverted. IM really starting to think, their are pediphiles and perverts in the UN. really. i had my sex education in 6th grade, i was 12 years old, 1987. it was required by state. And even at age 12, everyone laughed or was like ewww, or didnt entirely understand the teacher, or didnt belive her,. took that extra year when puebrty naturally kicked in.
SO!!! thier proposal, is to teach little johnny and susie after reading thema book or getting them started on their abc's and handwrititng? its really sick, to think the kids might satert mimicking this in class, masturbaion, not knowing what thier really doing, and the teacher getting off on it,

There are many people posting in this thread who seem to be in denial. If the kids don't get a hint from the teacher in the class setting (a link in the OP actually says the whole education wouldn't be very hardcore), then surely a year, two or three later they'll get "educated" by their peers. If you don't believe that, please read up on studies done and prevalence of various practices in different age groups.

There is nothing wrong with this education of it's done properly.

or..it could mean its someting conjured up, to keep us fighting with echother, so goverment conjures up thier scheme behind our backs..a distraction. that comes to mind. I think the CIA musta mis delivered some mysterious white powder at the UN, for them to even think of sex and children education. whats next? teach them at such a yuong age, all about jeffrey dahmer and ted bundy? teach them how nazi scientists were recruited into NASA to build thier rockets and technology? Ttoday in class kids! were gunna learn ALL about HH holmes and ed gien... johnny youve been abad boy today, 2 sex leather flogs on yuor pulled down pants behind, and write out on the chalkboard, ed Gacey 20 times as punishment.

thats just the thing. IF done properly. How well is our public schools anyways? thier in shambles.. when i was visiting poland, 1992, i was 17. my g/f thier one day wnated to test me on advacned mathemtics and algebra. she was shocked, utterly shocked and i felt she thought i was stupid, i was unable to do it. Over thier, they were learning this before middle school!!!
What comes to my mind, are those 3 or 4 female teachers, who had sex with 13 year olds, one was 10 i think? few years back, and 2 of them had thier kids. what a wonderful education system we have by comaprisson or in other schools, perticularly NYC, were it was more than common,a t least through the 90;s teens bringing 9 mm guns to class, drugs, and all the teachers wanna do, rather than expell them, in fear of being hurt, is let it all happen.
My father went to a catholic high school, back in the mid 60's. Often if somone did even so much as fart, or make a gesture for the whole class to laugh, the student was imeditaly, pulled or yelled at to the front of the class, and his knuckels were wrapped wih a ruler till they started to bleed, OR they got the paddle..which means, pull down yuor pants, ass faces the students in room, and its punishment time. IN all times, it was sucessful, yuode think twice abuot stepping outta line duing education hour, knowing whats coming yuor way. thiers a word for it...discipline. seems barbaric yes, effective? VERY

Not sick and perverted.

You know, infants often masturbate. It just happens. It's natural. I definitely don't think it should be discouraged at all, and I suppose they should be taught about it young so they know it's okay to do, but not in public or in front of others.

That seems like a fair trade off. Of course, schools shouldn't be doing the educating, parents should.

But there are still parents who physically punish their children for touching themselves. So maybe something should be done.

Teachers having sex with students or perving over students is really not connected to this debate. Those people will do that regardless of the curriculum. The question here is whether or not the subjects are age-appropriate.

2 of my boys are 5 & 8. Call me old fashioned, but NO WAY would I want this subject taught to my children in school! I say leave the innocent alone!
