Schools are very good at teaching the how-to of sex, but they don't do a thing about teaching the advantages of a stable relationship, or how to raise children, or anything else that comes AFTER the sex.
"This is how to have a baby... and this is how to protect yourself if you don't want one." Contraceptives don't always work... what happens then? Help once it's happened is difficult: a scared teenager who's just found out his girlfriend is pregnant isn't going to be thinking rationally, he's going to be thinking of all the bad things he's been taught, by the schools, that having a baby is going to cause for him. Is it any wonder there's that many single mothers?
I say teach about the advantages of sticking with their girl/guy. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of sex, and trying to scare them away from it, teach them how sex is a good thing, children are great, and not buggering off after either one is even better.

I'd also like to note that I went to a Christian school (Private) and we were taught a whole lot about sex. What Moral Organisations are you talking about that are trying to remove it from schools?
I hate to break it to you, but These kids know already.
I am driving BD (Behavor Disorder)kids that are still in elemintary School and I am constanly shocked at what they are talking about and what they did over the weekend. I mean they are in 8th friking grade and she's talking about how her man did her so good last night and he came in her and she's mad at him becouse she does not want to get pregnet.
I just drive the bus I dont ingage in there conversation.
Teaching the kids that is good to abstain is like telling the fox don't eat the chicken after he has already stolen it from the coop.

It is a wast of time and recourses that could be used in keeping them from killing the teachers.
