DAN, <<BTW, see how many kids are smoking? Did you have lung cancer, lip cancer, throat cancer, all those indivvidual cancers, training in school, since all these Can develop from smoking/ Which SOME kids are going to do? MUCH worse problem than the clap. >> Dan, I think you are arguing against yourself here. Given all these problems with smoking, what do we chooose to do? Educate our children to the dnagers of smoking, of course. YOu wouldn't dream of just saying that kids already know they shouldn't smoke, and teaching them about the dangers might promote smoking..... NO! we educate them to the dangers of smoking, and hope to decrease the number of smokers.... <<I would make sure they knew exactly how various contraceptives work,>> I mean they should know that you can't not take the pill and and then double up if you have sex, or just taking it after sex won't work either. Things like that. Just knowing the dangers and fallibility of various methods will keep a large number of mistakes from happening. << Do you teach your children not to steal ONLY because they might get caught? >> That's silly. I specifically said it was because that not everyone's morality is the same, and that families should be able to teach the morality they believe in. They have that right. << would make sure they knew that if they do run into a problem such as pregnancy, or disease, or develop awareness that they were homosexual, .....I would make sure they know about the biological impulses that cause these feelings, and how it is normal to have them.>> Dan, you are combining two different statements and taking them out of context. There is a reason that I seperated them. The urges I was refering to were the hormonal sexual urges that we all feel through the normal biological impulses inour bodies. We couldn't not have them, no matter how much you try. The prior paragraph was in reference to feelings or situations they might find themselves in and to know they don't have to do anything as drastic as comitting suicide. <<WHAT A LIBERAL MORALITY PLAY YOUR CLASS BECAME SO FAST!!!!!! now we go from teaching about the character of disease to telling our children how be AWARE to be a HOMO and NATURAL to have homo impulses..>> Again, you are putting words in my mouth that I never said. In fact, I specifically said that I would leave morality out of it....... <<? And I have to assume as far as your pregnancy class time, you should just pass out some Planned Non-parenthood pamplets so they know where they can grab a quick abortion, (how about kick'backs to the school with the most spirit)>> Again, I never even mentioned abortion. so I won't respond to this. I think your entire post was unfair in regards to my statements. You have completely ignored the fact that it is proven that by educating kids you get the exact results you are looking and hoping for lower pregnancies, and more kids actually have sex later in life, when they are more prepared to handle the responsibilities.
