Dear Parents

Alright,

I've read some heated discussions surrounding whether or not a parent should be responsible for the sex education over a teacher.
If a parent wants to tackle that issue with his/her son/daughter, MAD PROPS!

Seriously? I think it would be a tad awkward to sit down with mom or dad and be all like "condoms"... It's just awkward.
Studies have shown that most parents (approximately 80%) in Canada like the idea of a comprehensive sex education to be taught to their child at school. Trust me... these people know what they are talking about. Teachers are trained to deliver information to people in a certain brilliant way. There are sexual health education certificates available for teachers who specifically want to teach sexual health.

Teachers know safe sex and how to approach it!

I agree wholeheartedly that a parent is the primary educator of his/her child. There is NO questioning there... but teachers are around for a reason. We rule, that's what!

Also, parents are biased. If a parent is uncomfortable speaking about sexual orientation, a teacher will tackle it. Teachers are comprehensive and parents are selective, in my opinion. Kids need all the facts. If we teach kids all the facts, they will be like "oh wow... this adult trusts me with this information". In turn, they will be confident and equipped with making healthy and (hopefully) well-informed decisions. Clearly, I cannot read a 13 year old's mind, but I'm just saying... studies have shown... and this is the data we can rely on.

Also, I've talked to kids, teens, and the general youth. Trust me. They think about sex, and they WISH we would talk about it like it's not that big of a deal.
