I started being taught sex ed when i was in 3rd grade! I think that's too young, but since a lot of people have sex at such young ages nowadays, maybe teaching sex ed at a young age/grade is a good idea...?

So, when do you think is the right time/appropriate age for children to be taught sex ed?
 
Mine know the basics, plus a bit more before they start school.

I don't want them learning it second hand on the playground, and hear the wrong thing.
In starting to teach them about their own bodies and other peoples bodies, young, they aren't as embarrassed as teenagers who have the *talk*. It's an open ended conversation, and they feel pretty damn comfortable talking about it with us.
I personally don't think the schools should have to teach it though, I doubt most children learn a thing in sex education classes, too much giggling and carrying on.
