In the UK if you want your kid not to be included in sex education you can request they not be part of those classes. When I was a teen the school sent a letter home asking parents if anyone wanted to do that. No parent did for the simple reason we all knew the facts of life anyway and there wasn't anything exciting we were going to learn in those classes. Mind you the memory of our biology teacher trying to demonstrate how to put a condom on a banana will stay with me for life. Especially as I was sitting next to a girl who was shall we say somewhat more advanced than he in that department and was quite worldly-wise for her years. I felt sorry for him as he was an elderly gent and it was plainly not funny for him to be having to do that. But it was the height of the AIDs crisis so they made a big issue of it in the UK, even in Catholic schools. As the age of consent is lower in the UK (16) than in the US and this was our final year of school and we'd all turned 16 I can assure you a lot of the girls in the room were not virgins and found the whole thing very silly indeed. The nun who handled another aspect of this was more blunt and to the point and her advice was if girls slept with boys then it was their choice but they needed to consider whether the boys would stick around and provide for the child and perhaps that's why rules about marriage and family had evolved in various faiths over time.

How do you build a child's moral compass when it's common for children to question their family's beliefs (national studies show children having disbelief in God by age 10)? I was questioning my parent's beliefs at a young age, along with their approach to sex education. They didn't do the greatest job teaching morality, and I'd like to do different for my child. Children have disbelief in God by age 10!
See this Youtube video, 3 days ago, God is REAL, TRUE scientifically. God's message to the seer about the punishment of earthquake in Mexico for sin and then M7.6 earthquake happened next day. Read the comment.

I would hope to be able to use better methods than that to convince a child of the value of my faith. Self-appointed 'seers' who are likely monetizing themselves on YouTube do not strike me as a great argument.
