Why? I knew what sex was when I was 10 in the 90’s from listening to older kids talk about it on the bus. I guarantee that even at 10 years old, sex ed class isn’t going to be kids’ first exposure to the subject, but ti will definitely be their healthiest. The alternative is kids getting all of their understanding about sex either from porn, or from other kids, who got it from porn. I was already looking at porn before I learned that sex causes babies. From health class. Kids these days have probably seen porn well before 10, and we need to get ahead of them trying it out for themselves and teach them that there are consequences to the act.
I think you misunderstand me. I’m saying not teaching it early would just cause kids in their mid teens to have unprotected sex, thus having more kids.
You see this in US states where they teach abstinence instead of sex education.

Ah, gotcha. I thought you were saying having sex education would lead to more teen pregnancy. My bad.
