YES!!! The more EDUCATION, INFORMATION, and KNOWLEDGE the better. There is too many STD's and teen pregnacies out there already. The more schools and parents can educate their children the less diseases and accidents will occur.

Definitely, but there should be complete transparency with parents (in advance) about what the class will cover and how. I shudder to think how many kids aren't learning the facts!

Yes, but parents should also have a conversation with their kids to prepare them for the content of the class.

LOL yes.
It's funny to watch everyone else and the teachers make a simple subject awkward.

being in middle school we have about a week of sex ed every year. like in 6th grade it was stds, 7th grade safe sex and how the female body works, and 8th grade consequences of sex. I think the kids think its funny/amuzing, but we get alot out of it
