Journal Article - Response 1 - Sex Education

Peeking into a class room of young kids, pre-teens, and teens, you see individuals of various backgrounds. These students may walk in with more or less knowledge of a certain subject than the peer sitting next to them. However, the teacher’s lesson plans in the class room start from zero. They cover the basic and build up to more complex concepts appropriate for that age group. The same applies to sex education, some students may have had a conversation with a parent while others would never think of touching on that subject with anyone. This is a problem. The reason I bring up the lesson plan starting “from zero”, from its most basic form, is because in the rally if this text reminded me of just that. Teens walked in rally thinking a “girl couldn't get pregnant the first time she had sex”, others had prior knowledge about STD’s. The informative readings on teen pregnancy and other health-related issues are important for teens to go over. The games listed in the article and summary are a very engaging way of informing teens about early pregnancies and the consequences of having unprotected relations. There exciting activities, taking away from the uncomfortable classroom lectures. Fun rallies and fairs like the one in Orange County, California really is a good example to follow by the other states. The summary covered important points like the decrease in birthrates. From the summary, one can tell the reader fully understands the main points of the article and will be able to use this information correctly in future prompts.
