I sent my own three kids to Catholic high schools. Contrary to what some might expect, the schools did a pretty good job of teaching the kids what my ex and I didn't. The texts the kids used were excellent. My ex was in nursing school when the kids were in high school, so they got some of their sex education in connection with their mother's nursing school education and texts.

I homeschooled my stepson through high school, and the homeschool charter school didn't offer a sex education course. My stepson is taking a human sexuality course in junior college this summer, and it seems to be excellent.

There are some things that parents can't teach teenage children very well, so it's good to have a mix of parental enlightenment and good sex education in school. I think all four of my kids ended up with a pretty good mix of both.
