That is not the role of formal education.
Thanks for explaining the proposition, though.

I definitely disagree and think it is a ridiculous proposition.
For starters, not everyone attends schools that offer sex education. For seconders, taking a sex education or parenting class does not promise safe sex or "good" parenting. There is no promise of safe sex or "good" parenting just like someone who takes a math class is not guaranteed an "A" in mathematics/to do well on the math portion of the SAT/to become a mathematician.
