America's schools

Today I read a German magazine. They said that the US-Goverment invest 1,5 billion dollar for preventing sex education at schools. Also many schools tell the pupils that the earth is 6000 years old and was made by god. What!? Is this true?

a friend that came from US at the start of the year belives in that... but im danm sure he knows about sex.

I think this is not altogether true
although in "less educated" parts of the country
this would not surprise me.

I go to a school that is ranked in the top 5-20 schools in California.

So if you get a B on a test in this area; it would be an A in other schools. If you get an A, other schools would judge that to be an A+. Sorry I just wanted to share it with you even though I know you're not directing that towards me...RIGHTT??

Weird, I was forced to take sex ED, and if you go to a Catholic school or some sort, they teach you about religious views. But in normal public schools, it's against the law for teachers to teach students religious crap.

Same here, we went to this place called Robert Crown. They taught us about drug use, sex, etc. I go to public schools so I believe it might be a law to teach the students. I could see Catholic schools throwing in their religious views on sexual contact.

You have to remember that the media twists facts and what not to get stories and shit...
If it's too stupid to sound true it probably is.
I bet the magazine just asked a few home schooled kids that question and came out with those facts. ^{(exaggerating)}

[cogsandspigots]

You bet that isn't true.

My school's philosophy: believe whatever you wish, outside of tests.

Also, I had to take sex ed.

In one experiment in sex ed, I caused (directly and nondirectly) 35 people to get AIDS.

My school never taught sex ed. we learned ourselves. and 90% of all my teachers in my old high school will give you a evil look if you tell them about the big bang.

Did you go to a private school?

[Mr. Franklin]

Many magazines in Europe, like Welt der Wunder arn't exactly the most accurate magazines. Many Private and Catholic schools have different religious views than any other private type schools in the world. While public schools in the United States cannot support religious views.
