I was thinking about this, how the Indian Education System, shushes down, the topic of Sex Education.
And I think this silent obliteration and silent skipping of these most important truths, is extremely dangerous.
Because how could you teach about Sexually Transmitted Diseases ( STDs ), without teaching about Sex in first place.
Biology teachers acting shy appears as pure hypocrisy to me, considering how India is now the most populous country in the world, surpassing China
( Note to Biology Teachers :- Why did you opt for teaching Biology, if you are actively shying away from teaching about Sex Education, you should have chosen any other profession, or did you blindly chose teaching because nothing else worked for you, if you are a biology teacher you must teach about Sex Education, or else simply resign. Its all part of the same deal. You have no right to customize the syllabus, teaching what you like and skipping what you don’t like! That shows that you’re incompetent and are utterly unfit for teaching, so please resign. )
And teaching about Sex Education is not just the teachers job, but Parents job primarily. If you love your child and want him to be healthy and away from Sexually Transmitted Diseases ( STDs ), you would have ” The Talk ‘ and teach him about Sex Education, if you truly love the child, your love compels you to take such a step.
( Note to Parents:- Implications of omitting Sex Education: it implies that either parents are uneducated, or they simply don’t love their own child. And if parents are uneducated they are in greater danger themselves. )Sex Education is not a joke or a topic to be shyed away from, its a matter of life and death.
Sex Education is not a joke or a topic to be shyed away from, its a matter of life and death
Assume a biology teacher, skipped Reproduction in Humans chapter entirely, and one of his / her students has contracted with an STD in the future. His ignorance of such an important topic will cost him his own dear life, and parents and teachers are to be blamed ofcourse and be held accountable and responsible for his/her death.
Even when someone is driving on road with Bike Stand, still erect and driving, we would warn them saying ” Brother, Stand’ and this warning saves their life.
Isn’t Sex Education, such a similar warning, and a more important one.
The messengers of Sex Education are worthy of all honor because they are saving precious and valuable lives.
