it's laughed at far too often and called "unrealistic," when it's only failed 1 time in history.
Personally, I don't think it's unrealistic if the child comes from a household that'll reinforce it.
But I've worked with my fair share of kids raising themselves, born to families with thugs, trash, and welfare queens and that's where they're getting their "information".
Back when I worked as a clerk in a high-poverty, low-performing school I withdrew a girl to our district's teenage pregnancy program at 13. She thought she couldn't get pregnant because her Momma said, "Girl you can't get pregnant on top. Just make sure you let it all leak out.". At that point, teaching abstinence-only is putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.

completely understood. my views on race/class have changed drastically in the last year. mainly what is reinforced at the home. another family and i have started working with a very low income apartment complex in the rough part of town and my understanding of what they get in support from the home unit compared to what my kids get is so drastically different than what they will receive that it's almost like living in two worlds.
i've become convinced that there is not white privilege and there is not class privilege. there is simply upbringing privilege.
