SEX EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS: A TABOO OR A REQUIREMENT? ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

The spread of AIDS, hepatitis 3 and other sexually transmitted diseases coupled with the ignorance which is rife in many areas of the world is leading many to think that sex education should be a part of school curriculums so students can acquire the facts from experts in the correct way rather than ill-informed friends behind the sheds in the playground. Do you agree or should this be left to parents? Do your research and write an argumentative essay.
