My daughter is in 8th grade and is aware of at least one girl in her class who has been sexually active since early in 7th grade. She started middle school at age 11 and will be 14 when she's done. So, some are doing it. Surely not all, not even most, but if they prevent even one teen pregnancy this way, then I say go for it. I don't think it will get used much though. It did say that it requires parent permission and, I don't see why a kid would be getting BC at school if it was ok with their parents.. seems like they'd just get it from that parent instead (unless cost is an issue?)
