Teens High School are schools where the teens get the most hygienic environment for the studies. Students can focus towards their life ambition. Students can select a field which can help in

That's what tee-nee-tee is all about, bringing people together.

Though when I think about it, except for putting parents to work in some mines part, that plan would be sort of like setting up publically run boarding schools. And boarding schools are per

"It is staffed by a pediatrician, nurse practitioner, dental hygienist, oral health care manager, psychiatric nurse practitioner, and two clinic assistants"

Combined with school lunches, all that's needed are some sleeping dorms and the kids can move in

I hope King Middle School administrators take non-grade related information security seriously, because they're about to create a very attractive nuisance. No one really cares about who gets asthma inhalers or aspirin from the nurse's office. But a list of

I believe the official district policy on sex ed is mainly abstinence-based, so yeah, even AIDS info might be rejected. But they might simply be rejecting the whole effort for policy reasons rather than trying to specifically say "We don't want stude

I can't believe that would be rejected. Even the AIDS information? Hell, when I was in the 7th grade there were very graphic photographs on government funded pictures in the nurses office about various STDs and the consequences they would cause. Perhaps I

(For those who don't read the subqueue comments, I noted that Topeka had a thing with free condoms available in the nurse's office.)

It turns out that the basket of condoms and AIDS informational pamphlets in the nurse's office at Topeka High was not th

Seems to me that parents like that are usually the ones whose precious little snowflakes end up doing all that crap anyway and getting pregnant/STDs/working at a gas station with triplets born out of wedlock. Preachers kids and whatnot.

In my experience

Just heard it on the radio...Of course, they also aired a brief interview with a parent that disagreed with the plan. She said something like she understands that some children are sexually active at that age, but it's the job of the parents to "inst

I applaud those behind the effort to offer oral contraceptives to middle school students. While hand-wringing Pollyannas might want to fervently believe that kids at this age don't have sex, the stark reality is that some of them do, and being sexual

How early is too early? I guess that depends on the kid. My first sexual experience happened at age 13* (seventh grade), though it was, like most, more about smoke than fire. The sex education class I'd attended at the end of sixth grade was

Thing is, see, there's nothing to do in Maine. Except smoke pot and have sex. So that's what teens do. Dunno about middle schools, sixth graders particularly. That seems a little young for sex and drugs. Probably they should buy Xboxes to keep the b
