If its in a classroom situation where a student puts his/her hand up and wants information on the subject in sex ed or whatever its called nowadays I have no problem with it.

Kids should be encouraged to ask questions in class if they want to know. Obviously younger kids will not be asking about abortion I hope however.

If its a student after class asking for advice then I feel there may be more to it and the teacher should be very careful with what advice is given

I'm not sure what is controversial about this. Teachers are suppose to be asked questions, I'd say the real story is that some kids wanted to know about something.

I think it is good that the pupils felt they could trust the teachers to ask.
