Do
you think it makes sense that most states and schools teach students
about sex and abstinence long before they cover all aspects of a
relationship. It seems that they focus primarily on the hormones
and biological aspect without first reaching out to the mental and
emotional aspects that take place before any sexual encounter is even
possible.

This
is one major contention I have with the public schooling process,
which is that it Ignore the soul inside the machine and merely treats
all children in a robotic, cattle like fashion.
This
is one of the main reasons we are not taught how to think but are
instead told what to think. There is not one class in school for
kids, that teaches the internal arts.
How
to control your breathing, how to remain calm using ancient
techniques, how to get your brain in a state that you can learn
faster and think on your feet using simple meditation and breathing
exercises anyone can be taught. No no no.. they teach everything
else but that which matters most.
It
Is the same thing when we get back to this sexual education
situation, now let me read off some numbers so you can get a picture
of the situation that schools are working to correct.
Stats
from page
• Compared
with their Canadian, English, French and Swedish peers, U.S. teens
have a similar level of sexual activity, but they are more likely to
have shorter and less consistent sexual relationships, and are less
likely to use contraceptives, especially the pill or dual methods.[7]
• The United States continues to have one of the highest teen
pregnancy rates in the developed world (68 per 1,000 women aged 15–19
in 2008)—more than twice that of Canada (27.9 per 1,000) or Sweden
(31.4 per 1,000).[8]
• Every year, roughly nine million new STIs occur among teens
and young adults in the United States. Compared with rates among
teens in Canada and Western Europe, rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia
among U.S. teens are extremely high.[9,
10]
so
as we can see by these numbers, the problem is not students not
knowing how to have sex or how to use contraception, the problem is
their relationships are shorter and the have more partners than the
other developed countries, which lead to more exposures to stds and
unwanted pregnancies.
Here
is the thing. Wouldn't that be an obvious sign and clear signal that
kids have no shortage of knowledge about sex, and everything they are
seeing in sex education class is precisely what they already heard
about or seen on TV shows and movies.
The
problem is that these kids are emotionally unstable and not ready for
the implications of their choice of sexual partner. No one taught
them about the things they may feel and how to deal with them so that
they are not making crazy decisions based on short-lived emotions.
Schools
do not take any time or waste any effort on teaching children about
the overwhelming pull certain emotions can have on them once they hit
puberty and get to that age.
Instead
of getting these kids started in meditation, breathing exercises,
yoga, and other arts that help one overcome strong emotions and
remain conscious through trying situations. Self discipline is not
taught at all.
Some
people tell me that schools teach self discipline and students who go
to school have more discipline than those who drop out. This is
simply not true, schools do not teach self discipline because you
have to do certain things or you get into trouble. Staying out of
trouble and fearing authority or the negative opinions of your peers
is not part of self discipline.
This
is why most students who drop out of school late in high school or
college face issues when it comes to having the motivation and
discipline to get up and start going for your goals.
Instead
most have to retrain themselves like myself and learn how to be your
own fuel for fire when it comes to doing something consistently.
Schools
teach mostly compliance and obedience to commands from authority.
Schools teach you conformity by constantly putting you in situations
where going against the group is you r natural instinct, but you are
forced to anyway in order to keep the peace, not make the teacher
mad, don't get us all in trouble, not more homework because of you,
stop talking back and running your mouth, You're disturbing the
classroom.
School
teaches you to shut your natural inventiveness and originality down
just to keep the so called “group” happy.
