Curriculum

What should be taught?

Parents have the most influence on their child’s decisions to engage in risky sexual behavior.  An ongoing discussion with your child is better than any curriculum in the classroom.

Ascend, formerly National Abstinence Education Association, has a Parent Toolkit with advice and a chart showing the difference between SRA and SRR.  https://weascend.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ascendparentsschooltoolkit-min.pdf
