Why do people think schools should teach you everything?
I've been noticing people are wanting schools to talk about sexuality* within schools. But why the hell do you want that? Should schools be the one teaching kids to accept one another for who we are, or is it the parent's responsibility to do this? We learn about sex one way or another, be it through sex-ed in school, or discovering the internet lol. Do you think this is a necessity, a value that one really needs to learn? Why don't we teach kids how to live in the god damn wilds, make things, cook food, get fit.
If a school is supposed to be a place to get set for the world, then we'd never leave it. A school is made so that a citizen of the country can be a productive one that raises the GDP of the country.
*I meant sexuality as in homo, hetero, bi, lesbian, trans. There is nothing wrong with sex-ed, I just don't think schools need to tell students about the above terms, sex is sex no matter the sexual orientation.

My school teaches a personal finance class, a slew of business classes, an independent living class, college/career success skills, law classes, painting, drawing, photography, basic foods courses, and a plethora of other electives and classes that are not in the basic HEMS core courses (I just made that up: History, English, Math, Science. Pretty neat, huh?). What is wrong with discussing sexuality? I do it in my English class and I guarantee it comes up in an AP Psych course at one point or another. You act like the discussion of sexuality would be otherwise taking away from a student's precious time that they'd be spending hard at work studying and enriching their minds, when in reality it could be 15-30 minutes taken away from doing busy-work or a pointless worksheet that reiterates the same thing they've been learning all year and isn't challenging at all. So, tell me your exact argument against discussing sexuality in school, because that can't honestly be it.
