But I'm being completely, totally fucking serious when I say that you are overestimating the level of knowledge of sex possessed by many (not necessarilly most, but too many) public school educators.
I know lots of great, hardworking, smart, underappriciated teachers. And I know some (including one in particular whose job it was to teach me and the rest of my fellow students about human reproduction) who are scary ignorant.

Too true. You know, I got a 99 in Human Sexuality in high school (even though I was a virgin at the time), and here I am, years later, knocked up!
Damned public school education.
(And that was back when teachers weren't required to pretend kids didn't have sex, but were actually permitted to show you a condom, and a diaphragm, and a pack of bcps, and tell you what to do with them -- which was not, by the way "throw them in the fire and resolve not to use them, for if you do, you will burn in the eternal fires of non-secular damnation!")
