I'm a high school student (a product of public schools my whole life) and I can certainly testify to the pathetic-ness of high school sex ed.
My last year's health class (one quarter a year, the other three of which are taken up by 'phys ed' -- basically standing around doing nothing and getting no physical activity done whatsoever) was made up of briefly covering bulimia and then spending the rest of the two months ordering Chinese and watching films -___-;.
It's despicable. I learned from my friends in sixth grade what sex actually is (my mother is an impossibly innocent-minded individual), my boyfriend taught me how to make certain that a condom is turned the right way, and all of my sexual knowledge comes from either personal (limited) experience or my avid interest for reading up on anything medical.
America has been on a dark and winding road for a long time in many respects. It really needs to stop.
