I agree the schools need to do something for the stupid kids, but c'mon, as a recent graduate of the bullshit health classes, I can tell you that not a single kid in the class (or, for that matter, the teacher) takes the abstenence bullshit seriously.

Schools teach the physics, the basic what-goes-where... the rest, the when to put what where, the how to most effectively put what where, etc, is up to the kid (or, by that point, teen, i guess) to figure out.
