My elementary school had sex ed in 5th grade, I was 11. It didn't really go into sex or relationships, just the facts of puberty, male/female anatomy, periods, etc. Boys and girls were separated. Our parents were given a heads up and people could ask their children to opt out. When I was in 8th grade we had a more comprehensive health class that had a huge part of sex ed. This was the late 80s, so HIV was a huge concern and there were no treatments for it at that time. When HIV was such a big deal people didn't play that much with sex ed, it was no BS this is how you stay alive stuff. Nowdays I guess no one cares that much about stds etc?
