Thoughts on teaching breastfeeding education in high school to a Health/Parenting and Child Development class

Thoughts on teaching breastfeeding education in high school to a Health/Parenting and Child Development class?
I know that abstinence and contraception is taught first and foremost, but you're also taught about what your body goes through as you grow. What better way to increase breastfeeding rates in young women and minorities. A whole course wouldn't be necessary, just a guest speaker from the local department of Public Health on one day to educate young adults on the hazards of formula, and the impact is has on them personally, as well as society as a whole. Young men can also benefit from this information, as they can learn to be encouraging and supportive of their partner. How great it would be to debunk myths and change the views of young people who see breastfeeding as "gross." Breastfeeding in the rest of the world isn't considered an obscene act, the U.S. needs to get on the bus.

I do not think that breastfeeding should be a subject of discussion at the high school level. Information and assistance is offered as part of the birth experience at hospitals.

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example: My subject is Primary and Secondary Education. I want to know where to get certified as a teacher. The search engine result is as follows: Teaching + state certification requirements What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachinâ€¦ This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck I like that approach better than just saying "Google it" or "Look online".
