there may well be a causal relationship between sex education and an 
increased rate of teen-age pregnancies.  when i got some (two hours, i think)
sex ed as part of grade 11 phys ed, the teacher explained the rhythm method
and drew on the board a diagram showing TWO "safe periods" per menstral
cycle, neither of which was safe!
the textbook was right, but i don't know how many of my classmates read it.
