I say part of 2 and 4. You can never learn too much technology. I think basic math and science are fine. I see no need to force kids to learn geometry and algebra when I learned all that stuff and at 37, outside of school, I have never one time used it. As far as sex..we need to be teaching how NOT to become a parent. At our schools here we can't teach abstinence or how NOT to become pregnant but once they are pregnant, we can offer them classes on parenting and our girls are becoming pregnant at 12 and 13 (and having abortions or the baby ends up in foster care). We should be teaching kids how to stay kids and not become parents. Every student should have to take a class in parenting/home ec but not until they are in HS and NOT because they are pregnant.
