EDUCATION If you had a choice between cooking class and s*x education?

Question

for yourself,? Part 2 If you had a choice for your child?

Answer 1

Probably cooking class.  The in-class demonstrations would be a little less embarrassing.

Okay, I'll be serious.  I'd still go with the cooking class because it'd be more practical.  Unfortunately most s*x ed classes, as badly as they're needed, are poorly taught and most students come out of them as poorly informed as they were before.  Also, most teenagers think they already know everything about s*x and they don't believe they can ever get pregnant or catch a STD.  With a cooking class, at least they'll learn something useful.

Answer 2

i would rather take cooking class since  i'll get ti cook and it would be a lot of fun.

Answer 3

For myself, obviously the cooking class (to see what I missed in my whirlwind educatory process at Cordon Bleu....I really don't feel that I would get a LOT out of a s*x education class at this point in time, I MUST have REALLY paid attention in that subject in HS, quel suprese!!!

NOW FOR KIDS:

I wish that BOTH were mandatory in schools these days, but with the POLITICIANS cutting EVERYTHING to the bones in schools these days, it's pretty unlikely that cooking or s*x education will fall short of usefull classes, like underwater basket weaving.....and at the student's detriment......Sad that our Governerator (yeah, Arnold is the Gov of California, unfortunately.....how the h**l DID that happen??) is cutting the funding for a lot of classes that our kids need.....Perhaps he should run for President of Austria......

Answer 4

I taught my daughter how to cook and the correct facts about s*x, yes typical teen "ewww I don't want to know", but a few years later she was very please I had given her the facts, after a teacher asked students about STD's etc, and my daughter proudly gave the correct information and answers.

Sadly there are a few parents who can't cook much less give the correct facts about s*x, because they don't know them themselves. Reasons for this could be they were never told (I know I was not, so I learnt by reading or asking questions of adult friends), another reason is parents feel uncomfortable in talking about s*x and no doubt a host of other reasons.

Ideally it is the parents role to teach s*x ed and basic home care including cooking and budgeting, but there will always be a need for the school to pick any deficits, especially with so many parents not being at home because they are trying to provide for their family.

Answer 5

Cooking class WITH my children.  They're 3 and 6 so it's a bit early for the other, but my son is already asking questions, so he'll be forgoing the Baked Alaska soon.

:-D

Answer 6

Well i choice cooking  because s*x education is something that i dont like to learn

Answer 7

cooking cooking and cooking

Answer 8

s*x education - it is a chance to learn FACTS instead of so many falsehoods that travel amongst "tweens" and even adults!

It is also a way to ask questions from a professional instead of a parent/guardian in case they are not comfortable.

Answer 9

Although its very embarrassing, I would choose s*x education. Its important to learn about that kind of thing.

Answer 10

cooking all the way. I had a s*x education class in High school and one in College (psychology major for a while) and it was totally useless

Answer 11

So I have a choice between s*x ed or cooking! I'm wondering so the school has to teach you about s*x and your mother has to teach you to cook, Why can't Mother do both? or the school do both. I understand why it takes money to teach cooking with all the equipment and time, But why does it have to cost so much to teach about s*x? of course in both Cooking hands down!!
