The reason so many dumbass teenagers have unwanted pregnancies doesn't have a thing to do with their high school curricula.

The effect of a high school curricula upon the sexual practices of its students would be pretty spotty. And it would be almost impossible to isolate for other outside variables.

Well that thought went through your head so it must be absolute fact.

The fact that you hate that I'm smarter than you doesn't change the fact I'm smarter than you. I'd suggest finding a way to deal with it.

yet another thought that went through your head that is now absolute fact.
How are things on your planet BTW

True. It starts in the home, but therein lies the rub. A lot of the kids I work with that probably need sex ed are the ones whose parents were 13-15 having them, had another 3-4, and are on welfare. That's their education on the subject.
And as sexualized everything is that surrounds kids these days (i.e. TV, movies, etc) it's a hard world to teach abstinence-only sex ed to someone in that situation. By the time we get them in middle school they've almost certainly already had sex AND some already have kids. I've had to withdraw girls to our district's teenage pregnancy program who were 12-13 and on their 2nd child.
I think it's pretty criminal that sex ed isn't available in schools. When I was in school we had it, it was pretty informative (you never forget those STD pics
), and if Parent/Guardians didn't want it taught to their children they simply opted out of the program. I don't see how that hurts anyone's religious beliefs. And it's probably more informative then the teaching to a standardized test bullshite they're teaching right now anyway.

The problem isn't with sex education but with parenting and not knowing what kids are up to. Too little adult supervision, actually.
Kids are stupid and think they are invincible. Teaching them about condoms won't stop them from doing stupid things with their bodies.

Sex ed goes beyond condoms though. It gets into basic hygiene (you'd be surprised at how bad some middle school girls are at this one) and STD transmission. One of the students I worked with got pregnant a couple years ago and when I asked her what she was thinking she said, "He told me I wouldn't get pregnant if I was on top".
How would dispelling BS like that be a bad thing? If anything shouldn't we be promoting this kind of education if it can potentially help curb welfare cases a couple years down the road?

If every movie and TV show and family discussion about English, math and science gave out competing messages and information, sure.

Well they often do with english and science. Math they just ignore, much like most high school kids.

Not sure what you thought I was saying, but my point was that the bigger issue here is with the family, not sex ed classes.
This type of information should be covered in the home by responsible parents who are involved in their childrens' lives and exposing them to the realities of the world under the protection of the family unit.
The world is made up of latch-key kids who get their sex education from their friends who are even more clueless than themselves. It's sad that sex ed is even a necessity in schools.

Did you even read her previous post?
Posted on 4/9/14 at 10:22 pm to UMTigerRebel
I'm guessing he didn't. He kind of reinforced my point.
Posted on 4/9/14 at 10:50 pm to UMTigerRebel
I did, which is why I reiterated that it is sad that sex ed is even needed.
Her response to mine seemed to be a rebuttal of sorts, which confused me since I thought we were on the same page.
