What it will mean is that a generation of students will miss key health education that includes body functions, hygiene, and prevention. That sums up to future health costs of pregnancies, infections, and poor health

Or even more likely than parents saying no, just not bother/remember to sign and return forms, or the kid doesn't even bring the form home for their parent to sign, happens all the time on activities. With my daughter in particular we have to ask her for the forms if we know she has a field trip or she'll never give it to us.
