<<We are failing our kids in our schools by not having decent schooling on family planning, sex and relationships. >>

The kids are definitely being schooled on these issues. The quality of that education is, of course, open to debate.

That being said, I think we are failing the kids by not providing decent examples of relationships, and family planning, not to mention a lack of discussion surrounding sexual issues. The emphasis should be on providing that information at home - we shouldn't delegate that responsibility to the schools. It will probably always be necessary to provide information at school as a backup for those situations where parents are unwilling or unable to handle it themselves, but the responsibility is still the parents'.
