I think they were wrong to get rid of the curriculum. I on occasion disagree with other people, even people of authority.
I've never mentioned 15 year olds outside of quoting Hax to reply to their trolling.
16 year olds was the most generous to you interpretation I could give. Article states it's a senior level class, realistically could be a few juniors. In other posts I said ~17 or 16-18 because it's probably the most accurate based off the information available.
And yeah, I explicitly disagree with you on the mom bit. I think acknowledging that there are things teenagers don't want to discuss with their mothers is both realistic and productive.
So I think the prompt has two main positives - normalizes sex as real part of the students lives and also a tidy little lesson on writing for different audiences when combined with the second prompt.
