Back in the olden days (i.e. when I was a kidlet) we were shown the "Yay! Here Comes Puberty!" films (separated by boys & girls) just because there were parents who, even though they were notified the films were being shown and could elect to have their child not see them, WOULD NOT tell their kids the facts of life. Even that didn't help everyone - I still remember one of my 6th grade classmates who wore a tank top to school & hadn't shaved her pits, although she REALLY needed to. Of course, her mom was too stupid and clueless to tell her.
I'd like to think there aren't any parents like that around any more today, but I know there are.
I know a movie doesn't compare to getting a vaccine - but the simple fact of the matter is if the schools don't take care of some things they won't get taken care of - causing consequences that effect the OTHER children in the school - and that has been going on for a LONG time.
