Children at this age appear to respond most favorably with gender-segregated classes, based on their general discomfort with sexual topics and unique needs and questions.Some schools appropriately incorporate these classes into school curricula as part of a health-promotion curriculum.Other schools have special programs focused only on sex education based on parental desires or school board policies.Most school-age children have the cognitive skills to respond to programs on responsible sexuality, including discussions on abstinence and condom use, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and the human immunodeficiency virus.Given the various approaches to content, i.e., school-determined content vs parental-driven content, determining how education in the past has been provided is a good first step.There is no evidence to support limiting education on STDs to only HS students.Per the text, school-aged children have sufficient cognitive skills to learn about this topic.
