My kids are in college now, but they spoke about FLE as being hugely mortifying when they were in FCPS. I can only imagine the horror if they were taught in a combined class. Anyone thinking that's a good idea needs their head examined.

+1 I can’t believe Omeish, a Muslim woman, would be for this.

If teachers would just stop being biased, if we just combine the classes instead of separate them, then children will stop being mortified and will be comfortable with themselves and each other!!!!!

Then why have separate bathrooms or locker rooms? Why separate kids at all if the goal is to make sure that they're comfortable with themselves and each other?

False comparison. Let me turn it in around with an actual analogy--if boys and girls are so uncomfortable with each other, all learning should be single-sex. Bathrooms and lockers are completely different, and I think you know that,

DP. Ridiculous. We're talking about sex ed, not math and English. There is no need for boys and girls to have to sit in the same room and learn about one another's sexuality when they can learn about it much more comfortably in single sex classes. I think you just like to argue.

But since you brought it up, studies have absolutely shown that single sex schools are much better academically for both boys and girls, because kids are most at ease among their own sex, leading to higher participation. Most kids attend coed schools, but it's beyond obvious that FLE lessons should be given to single sex classes ONLY.

NP: I just read a good portion of this thread. I am an upper elementary teacher in the county, and I’ve taught more FLE lessons than I’d like to admit. Under no circumstance would combining genders be beneficial. My biases, as some worry, come directly from experience. The students are mortified as it is. They write questions on notecards and can barely look at one another when the question is read aloud. Why would we make it even more uncomfortable for them?!

It's become evident that there are some parents who actually *want* kids to be placed in uncomfortable and inappropriate situations. That mindset is beyond baffling - it's dangerous.

Please everyone - make sure to leave comments that you don’t want genders combined for FLE. Hopefully we can sway the school board!

Well, since the verdict on Karl Frish political career is already in, if Abrar Omeish wishes for her political activism to survive outside FCPS, she ought to take note:

Good for them. Glad to see it. I'm sure they'll be cancelled as "trans-phobes" or whatever.

And all questions should be written on notecards to be reviewed by the teacher for the next class. Otherwise, the door opens for inappropriate comments/questions for their age and developmental level. Some students have no modesty and others want to disappear into their seats.

I don't think those people are parents.

This is being pushed by a tiny group of activists, most of whom are not parents. And Karl Frisch.
