My reaction:
According to Polly Curtis in ” Sex education made compulsory in all schools,” in this article Sex education is to be made a compulsory part of lesson among primary and secondary school in order to reduce the number of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

In my opinions I think it is absolutely necessary for government to make sex education become the part of curriculum in elementary schools. As the report says we are not teaching a five years old child about sex, but the difference of our bodies and the friendship and how to manage their feelings. With this kind of knowledge, children become more respectful to the opposite sex. They also would know how to control their sexual urge when they gradually grow up. Children is the best learning level of human life. To build the foundation of sexual concept, it is the best way to add an extra curriculum of sex education.

In Taiwan there also has sex education in our elementary schools. But I think it is too superficial or, in other word, skin-deep. That results in lots of sexual problems among the teenage. We should strengthen the practical action of respectful between males and females rather than only oral teaching. Besides the education in school, parent should also let there children know how important it is to esteem others’ body. To make this world more colorful we should all try our best to be rational, mature and familiar with human affairs.(246)
