Tell your parents that your teaches said that you cannot skip it!
i told them. now they're just mad at my teacher
The school has an obligation to see that ALL students receive sex education. As long as your parents have you enrolled in that school, you are obligated to follow the school's rules.
I agree with Ms. Sue
Ok ill show them this
Yeah, the school probably knows what's best. Every child has to learn this at some point. It's alright if your parents want to tell you themselves. Maybe just suggest that they explain it to you before you cover the material in the unit.
Have your parents hurry up and tell you about it. And then you could do the unit. It would work best for everybody that way.
Many parents say this, but my experience as a HS teacher, is very few ever do it. Kids learn on their own. Do the unit.
