The Central Valley has the highest teen pregnancy rates in all of California. Just the Tulare County alone has a 43.7% of teen pregnancies in California.

Some teachers may argue that teaching a subject like that would be a complete waste of school time and not worth it. Which is not true most students would rather learn about this real life subject than a hard form of math or science. I remember when I was in grade school taking algebra questioning why we have to take this and that it was a complete waste of time. When would I ever use any of this in life I would always ask, but in a class that taught sex education it would be something students can use further on in life not just in a
