I'm in Canada and the schools teach it - also at home with 5 kids my wife and I do provide answers when questioned (she handles girls and I boys)
We don't create an atmosphere of right or wrong merely present the facts regarding bodies and how they related to one another. There are basic moral and ethics but generally we allow them to discover and ask when needed.
For parents the best way to show proper relationship guidelines is to act them out so the kids can see - for example how to properly have an argument and to ask forgiveness when needed.
We do have proper filters on their devices but also are close by the majority of time to notice if anything is inappropriate. They've also taken it upon themselves now to monitor properly even by not accepting any requests from strangers.
