school division in our community
is presently attempting to develop a
standardized curriculum following a
brief survey which showed a plethora of
different approaches taken by different
schools. Programs varied from a few
classes on venereal disease to a semester-
long comprehensive program encompassing
virtually every topic in human
sexuality. Many programs were
developed by interested teachers or
nurses specifically for their own
schools. Further, requests to other cities
have shown that there are considerable
differences in scope, duration, and
emphasis between school districts
which do have standardized curricula.
