How do we deal with the problem of teenage pregnancy and unprepared young parents? The Texas State Board of Education has decided to take preventative measures by introducing parenting skills to the health curriculum.
"Sandwiched between lessons on counting calories and staving off disease, high school health teachers will offer hefty doses of parenting advice in the next school year.
A new state law requires that parenting and paternity awareness be included in the high school health curriculum by 2008-09. The State Board of Education plans this week to adopt a curriculum developed by the Office of the Attorney General, an agency charged with, among other duties, cracking down on fathers who fail to support their children."
