There's nothing wrong with teaching the whole shabang, parents need to step up to the plate, not the schools.
Great..you gave me back my source. They study abstinence only education and talk with GVTs about it. How does this make them unbiased again?
They do not only study abstinence. Case in point: Another Look at the Evidence: Abstinence and Comprehensive Sex Education in Our Schools
Nope..they don't get pregnant. They get child-support payment plans instead.
Like I said... IF you're the kind of parent that can teach at home (or can even broach the topic), more power to you. Start early enough that they 'get it' before they tune you out. For many parents, talking sex with their kids is tougher than it sounds. Lacking that, I'd rather have a trained nurse talking sex with kids than their peers.
When Abstinence-only education fails..it fails spectacularly...mostly because of lack of education about such things as birth-control and stds. On the other hand, CSEs also discuss abstinence.
