I agree. Schools shouldn't teach these things to kids. Kids learn it on their own and it is part of having a laugh with your pals, growing up. Shouldn't be taught by adults to kids as part of an official curriculum.
No, I mean they shouldn't be talking about it with each other either, but schools facilitate it by giving them somewhere to socialize away from their parents, not keeping a close eye on them, not punishing them for talking about those types of topics and often not even informing the parents. Same thing with underage sex, schools give horny teens somewhere to meet and talk to each other away from parents and all they need is a couple minutes alone. It even gives minors connections who might be able to supply them with drugs and alcohol.

Should not, yes, but kids always learn about this stuff. There's graffiti from young dudes from the Roman Empire that shows us kids have been joking about buttsex for thousands of years. Can't stop the kids from being crass and raunchy.
As far as everything else, kids had sex and got married at 13-15 back in the day. They didn't have this school curriculum stuff. This getting married after 25 thing is a very new practice. You married your daughters off shortly after her first period to keep from having bastard kids. You married your sons off to wealthy lords' daughters so he could work on their farms or as a soldier.
That's why kids, these days, talk nasty and have "underage sex": we were meant to have sex around that age and start popping out babies because the life expectancy was 30.
In one of my anthropology classes, we were reading about women and how often they had babies. The average number of pregnancies an 18 year old female had was 3. They know this because they can count the number of babies females had based on the hip bones (it leaves signs like unto tree ring, I shit you not).
So what we are doing is throwing an ancient human into these weird modern constructs.
Did you know the concept of a "teenager" didn't even exist until after the industrial revolution? The IR gave us free time that we never knew before. We decided more "secondary education" was the best use of this new found time. Because kids weren't working fields at 12 like they were expected to, before. Modern agricultural techniques, mass production, energy (steam, coal, electricity), etc. all provided better supply and distribution, cutting out huge amounts of man hours required to just subsistence farm. Pretty incredible, right? This is why we have a concept of "teen."

Which is fine if they're actually getting married and not treated as children legally. The issue arises when there's no commitment and the men can't support their women.
I won't lie and say my ideology isn't driven by feelings of having missed out in my youth and thus a desire to see others live in a similar manner but I stand by it.

But they didn't get those kids by slutting around in school with random guys like is encouraged now. In the modern day is unacceptable and often illegal for a teen to get married and discouraged to have kids, yet teenage sex is treated as normal, it's fucking disgusting and an absolute inverse how how it should be where sex should be shamed unless reproductive.
