The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) thinks it's necessary for primary and secondary schools to give appropriate sex education to children's ages. The three main things they should be taught are sex, relationships and alcohol. The coalition government is trying to make its own plans to get compulsory sex and relationship education within the curriculum. According to the health watchdog sex education should start early, because it is more effective if it gets introduced before they have sex for the first time. The thing they want to teach about alcohol is that the students should avoid carousals and binge drinking.
My opinion:
I agree with the NICE. I think it would be better if they start giving information about sex on a earlier age. Something they need to keep in mind is that this could be very hard to realize. Twelve-year-old children can be on a such a different level when talking about sex. I don't see it as necessary that they know a lot of things about sex around this age already. On the other hand, they start activities related to sex on a younger age than ten years ago, so there are students of this age that are already active in this area. I think the education should only be given to children who sign up for it.

This is a good, clear summary with all the important facts of the story put into a logical order. I think you forgot to put the age at the end of the first sentence though.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTry to phrase your opinion a little better because, though I understand that you are for optional sex ed at an earlier age, the reasoning in the middle of your paragraph is a bit confusing. I agree that it should be given before the kids can come into contact with sexual activities.
Hey Patty,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting article. I do think it is necessary for twelve year-old children to be educated in subjects as these before they do stupid things. Hopefully NICE will succeed in taking these measurements soon.
I think the NICE would do a great job in giving sex ed on an earlier age, seeing children in Britain - and other countries - having sexual activities at insanely young ages. I do hope the NICE will accomplish in changing the way sex, alcohol and relationship education is now.
