ANS: B
According to research, parents desire multiple strategies for sex education in the schools, but there is a significant gap between what is actually taught and what parents want. About one third (34%) of teens report having intercourse by ninth grade, so education should not wait until high school. Multiple strategies include abstinence and more comprehensive strategies.
