My kids assiduously avoided these classes in high school (Biology II gets you out of Health), but they get honest lectures from yours truly at home. To anyone out there who disagrees with teaching sex ed in school--Information is Power!

I have to say, a bag of flour is better than not doing it at all, however my own opinion is that I'd MUCH rather wake up at night to a teaching tool baby than a real grandbaby born years too early. :) The program here in my area doesn't give them the flour option. The kids bring the baby home and they also wear an electronic wristband that can only be removed by the teacher at the end of the assignment. The wristband records how the student does with the "baby", and will also let the teacher know if the student left the baby with someone else or was just too far away to be considered "safely supervising". Interesting! :) I LOVE that they do this program these days.
