I'm so glad that you received sex ed! It's obviously crucial. Unfortunately, after a decade of teaching in BCPSS, I've never worked at a school that consistently taught sex ed. Lots of schools, particularly the better ones, do cover the topics well. Sadly, this is frequently not the case. For example, I taught in a high school where the health teacher's "sex ed" unit of the health class consisted of assigning students research projects on STDs and then teaching that condoms prevent STD transmission and pregnancy. No discussion of other methods at all. I also taught in a middle school that brought in an outside organization to teach sex ed but the program only lasted one year. It was really too bad because the organization (a branch of Planned Parenthood) did a phenomenal job.
