The emphasis on academic performance and the fear of controversy have prompted many schools to make only a half-hearted effort to teaching students about sex. The result: Puberty lesson periods are used to teach other subjects, and students are told to read the textbooks at home - that is, if there's a textbook at all.

at all 强调
如果有教科书的话

用心地分析。是的,是强调。
At all用于表达强调时,前段是否定式或持疑问性质的。在这里,“if there's a book”是相等于“如果真有这么一本书?”,因为前文说的是“性教育”,这类的内容很难在课本里找到。

注重成绩,恐怕有很多争议,学校只热心教导学生性工作. 结果:发育期执教经验的谈话,并告诉学生读课本在家,即有一本的.
