but does not sound like what was described to me on the phone that was saying the state would mandate what was taught. not local. the local has me bothered, but then in texas, so does the state, lol.

i told them they already do a piss poor job, so i just teach in my home, giving kids the info they need.

thanks

Agency. A District Curriculum Guide will contain the objectives to be taught in its subject area.

Sex education is not taught in most districts.

One district had a group of ladies who were from the Rape Crisis Center come in and do a program on saying no.

The state education agency has dropped the Health Class Curriculum. It was a half credit for graduation from high school.

until they drop dead, beginning with their first menses.

That's what they really want.
