I think that they should, but parents should be notified unless its a special case. What do you think?

Yes. Schools should help, but just like giving aspirin/tylenol/ibuprofen, it should be with parent permission. The ones who disagree with parental consent are probably some liberal jackassess.

depending on the kind of birth control. I do believe in sex ed, for the students because there are parents out there that do not teach there children about sex, and the consequences. Condoms are on thing, I think all sexually active teens should have easy access to condoms, and the school providing them is not a bad idea, but as for other types of birth control, the pill, depo shot, or any others that require a doctor, no I do not think that the school should have access to these to give out to our children. These kinds of birth control are not over the counter for good reason, your doctor needs to know your health and your health history before you can decide what method of birth control is best. Also a parent will better know their child's health history, ( better then the school would)

No, schools should provide an education. Birth control should be provided at a local free medical clinic.

I don't think so. The school has a purpose and providing birth control doesn't fit it.
Students should be allowed to buy it at a pharmacy.

In a way, i think they should because, a lot of people are just going to do things. They may be too afraid to tell their parents, but end up doing something anyway. Yes, it may encourage it.. but also, if people are going to do things , at least give them the option of being safe. Better to be safe than sorry.

No, I think that if a child is going to be sexually active they should talk to their parents. Why should the schools provide it when places such as planned parenthood do so? School is a place of learning and academical skills, I dont think its their job to provide their students with that.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! it's the parents' job to do that coz providing birth control at school will encourage sexual acts.

NO it just making it easier for kids to have sex because the ones that were afraid to get preg would not have sex but now they will and unless they are giving out condoms STD will run ramped.

NO WAY. THAT IS TOO PERSONAL. THAT IS A DOCTORS JOB. AND THIS WOULD CAUSE ALOT OF FAMILY PROBLEMS . THEY SHOULD PROVIDE EDUCATION ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL.
