When my son was in grade 7 or 8, his teacher brought in the apparatus for shooting up and proceeded to demonstrate to the class the correct way to inject heroin. After the lesson, my son asked the teacher why he had taught this lesson. In my opinion, it was a valid question.
Modern safe-sex classes raise some of the same issues, in that they make the assumption that students will be sexually active and therefore might as well do it safely. A new study from the University of Pennsylvania has found that 12-year-olds who attended abstinence-only classes were less likely to have had sex over the next two years.
