Yes, I feel that parenting classes should be available to students through their high school. Now, this can become a touchy subject for some because it clearly SHOULDN'T be a MANDATORY class. The reason why i feel high schools should have that class is for students who become pregnant and are expecting DURING HS. Because clearly you are TOO young to bare a child while you are still a child yourself. When having a child in high school you have to drop all the extra curricular activities like partying and become an adult immediately. There is NO room for messing around during pregnancy because that can mess up the development of the fetus and ultimately cause life threatening issues. So to prevent the childish behavior there should be a support system at the school this child attends to help teach them FOR FREE how to care for your child AND yourself during and after pregnancy. I feel it is VERY important. And should only be at the disposal of those who choose or immaturely choose to be parents at such a young age. Or even to those who are also interested in the information of child development. It would not be fair to those who are either smart enough or to those who do not want to be parents. But if you become pregnant during the school year you better believe that you'll be signing up for a class that can help you gain better knowledge of the basics of parenting. The last thing the world needs is for children growing up with dead-beat parents, or parents that don't know how to be parents. Not everyone can learn these triats from their own parents, so it is crucial that they learn it somewhere. Side: Yes

In the ideal high school, only things you will assuredly need after school would be taught. There are some people who don't want children immediately and others who decide that when they really want children they'll settle down and get the proper books for it. Besides I think most of the crap you learn in high school is just useless facts you forgot a week after the test, or whatever. Side: No
