Hmm, I always wondered what they told the boys. I went to Catholic school and in high school at around age 15 or 16, they brought in someone to talk the girls and boys separately about sex. I can't remember what they called it but it wasn't called sex education. One of the girls in my class asked who should be responsible for birth control, the boy or girl? And the answer was basically "no".
Side note - in my high school, a classmate was raped behind the school by a boy and another classmate got pregnant our senior year and wasn't allowed to attend school; they made her get home-schooled instead.
My own kid had classes called "family health" aka sex education in 4th and 5 grades (ages 9 and 10). I looked over the class materials and thought what they taught was appropriate. She was given worksheets in class with female and male anatomy and had to fill in the blanks on the worksheets. I noticed she wrote "eww" on the male worksheet. No idea where she got that from!
