Learn Young

Remember when you were little and in third grade you would sing “My Body’s Nobody’s Body but Mine”, and when you reached fifth grade you learned about the body? This is sex education and is taught in public schools around the United States. Elementary school is the most curtail time to teach a child about sex education. The song needs to be learned because children don’t know why their bodies are telling them to do certain things sexually. With the song they remember the song it helps them remember they are only supposed to touch their own body. Fifth grade is when girls and boys are separated in Gwinnett County Public Schools and taught about their body. My friends and I would laugh being immature, but we really didn’t know what we were going to discuss. A poll by NPR says only 7 percent of American’s disagree with sex education being taught in schools. The rest of Americans agree sex education is taught in the correct grades accordingly. Without elementary school’s teaching sex education, when children went to middle school, they would be clueless.
