I was too. However more recently, teachers have been focusing on abstinence. I saw a report on it a couple months ago on CBS. What I got out of the clip of the lesson was "this is a condom, it isn't perfect so don't have sex till you're married."
Granted teen pregnancies are down, I'd rather my future children have SOME knowledge about protection if they decide after high school to engage in sexual activity, rather then go in with the idea that it won't work or help so don't use it at all.
ETA: because "your" and "you're" aren't the same...
