education Sex Education in the Philippines

[mamangkantutero]

Ako, personally, wala akong objection sa sex education per se. Despite the objections of certain sectors, I don't see anything wrong with the topic of sex and sexuality. If ever, it would help foster the correct attitude about sex in general.

 

Ang worry ko lang ay kung ituturo ba ng tama at ng maayos ng mga teachers ang sex education, given the kind of teachers we have especially in the public schools. Lalo na kung ang teacher ay sobrang conservative or masyadong tini-trivialize ang sex. Kung ganon din lang ang klase ng paghawak nila ng sex education, e di mabuti pang ako na lang ang magbigay nun sa mga magiging anak ko.

Some knowledge is better than no knowledge at all. As long as ituturo nila ang safe sex and methods of contraception pwede na yun ipasok na nila lahat ng philosophy at religion na gusto nila basta matuto ang mga bata na proktektahan ang sarili nila sa sakit at di inaasahang pagkakabuntis. Nakakaawa na kasi yung mga nakikita ko na minor de edad na nabubuntis eh.

Talagang way behind tayo. Proof: Pinag-uusapan pa rin kung dapat o hindi dapat ituro ang sex education. Blame CBCP.

I think we should all have an open mind regarding this matter. We're still taken aback by how our society was restructured by the West. It actually was a light matter for our early Filipino ancestors.

 

The truth is sex does and will happen. It would be better if we find a way to teach it properly to the youngsters than have them experimenting on their own. LoL. Seriously now, with the alarming rates of pregnant teens or HIV victims, this is a must.

 

Prevention is better than the cure.

Sex Ed will have its benefits, as long as students see it correctly.

 

Sex Ed in kindergarden? How do you explain that to kids?

[cocoy0]

@waterfreak: Start by setting the tone for later years. That sex is not a taboo question. Sex is normal and it is not inherently bad. And sex is a beautiful thing between people who love each other. And perhaps some safety lessons against child abuse.

we, the younger gen is more open to such topic but conservatism still exist in RP especially among the bracket of 40 above kaya malabong i implement ito sa mga schools.

[kanto-terrorist]

while we are all debating about this sex ed, kids in US and Japan are being taught on the basic mechanics of engineering and robotics.

 

too much bullshits in our education system. While at college, instead of putting my concentration on the subjects that matters most, like major subjects, math and english, Im frequently bothered to waste much needed time doing homeworks for philosophy and phil. literature as an archi student. So much contrast on what some noted technical schools are doing.

 

seriously, dont we have too much sex topics in our daily lives? do we all need to specialize on it to become the next Paloma or Asia Agcaoili. Isnt that we are supposed to learn about sex the way we learn to walk and eat?

Dapat ang module ng mga teachers na magtuturo ng sex ed ay iyon video ni Hayden at Maricar. Everything you need to know about sex is there!

early on in my medical training, i was exposed to families that were the poorest of the poor and yet, they had children ranging in numbers from 6-12. for example, during my first o.b. rotation, i had for a patient an early 50's mother (one of my very first patients- making her hard to forget) giving birth to her 12th child who comes out to this world already malnourished. nutritionally, the mother herself wasn't any better herself either. the father is nowhere to be found since he has to scrape for some money, having no permanent job. the older, shcool aged kids were at home fending for themselves and for their younger siblings. that memory (and others just like it) has always boggled me. without putting much thought into it (in passing really), i simply thought that sex education, including but not limited to the use of contraception, should be done.

 

a few years later, i have moved up the medical rung when i encountered a 10 year old boy asking where he can have his penis examined. it hurt so much he says, adding that a copious, foul smelling liquid freely excretes from it. upon eliciting his medical history, i found out that he was coerced into having sex with a 12 year old girl- his first sexual partner. i just had to shake my head in disbelief before treating the poor boy.

 

flash-forward to the present. the department of education has gone against the norm and the almighty catholic church and has advocated the teaching of sex education to public school students. i am all for it and wish them success in this program of theirs.

 

i hope the new administration will support this move.

Let's teach the young the rudiments of sex!

 

Module 1: Katrina - Hayden video. Oral Sex 101

 

Module 2: Maricar - Hayden video. Sexual positions 101

Dapat takutin ang mga bata into having sex, ever!

 

joke

 

seriously, long time cumming...este, coming ito.

sex education and responsible parenthood!

 

kung susumahin kasi, ano ang pag-asa ng bata na matutunan ito from their parents samantalang wala din naman nagturo sa kanila, what more kung gago ang nagturo sa kanila...asahan mo bang matino din ang maituturo nila sa kanilang mga anak.

 

personally, i got my sex ed from the likes of Peter North, Ron Jeremy, Traci Lords and of course, Bambi Woods....but not everyone is as lucky as I to have "mentors" such as them

That's why I think the state should step in.

The general population of parents cannot provide this information to their children

I believe that it is a mandate of government to see to it that its constituents are educated and informed for them to make the best choice....which at the end of the day is what DEMOCRACY is about

[skitz]

The church should stop speaking where it is a NON-EXPERT. Well, ok, expert sila when it comes to molesting altar boys. lol. But seriously, ano ba masama kung pag-usapan ang sex in the context of "health and science"? p#ta. Mas gusto pa ata ng mga pari na sa internet matuto ng sex ang mga bata. Punyeta. Ganun na nga ang status quo. Ano pa ba ang gusto ng mga obispo? Wave their magic wands and ask the tides to not rise? Wake up and smell the coffee bishops. The world is not flat, and we are not the center of the universe, insisting that this is so will not make it so. EDCUCATION! EDUCATION! EDUCATION! Ano ang masama ulit dun? Ano ba ang opposite ng educated/education? Di ba't IGNORANCE?! Yun ba ang gusto nyo mga pari? Ano? Sabihin nyo ang tunay nyong position!

 

And oh yeah, I believe P-NOY is serious about this one issue. He is the one candidate who stood firm on this -- at the cost losing a few votes I would imagine. I think his DepEd and DOH will reflect his stand on the issue.

Ang contention nila ay it is the parents' right to teach their own children. Pero sa situation ngayon na napakaraming magulang ang nasa abroad, kung hindi man minsan lang sa isang linggo umuwi dahil sa probinsiya ang pamilya, maraming bata ang lumalaking walang mapagtanungan. Ni makapagluto nga ng laing nang maayos hindi maituro, sex pa kaya?
