This. This discussion is ridiculous. All of the proposed changes are still FACTUAL.

The only thing that I do not like is grouping the boys and girls together. I think there should be leeway and acceptance if a child does not want to go to the group of their assigned gender and I absolutely think both groups should be taught content for both the male and female reproductive systems. However I remember very clearly the discussion in my 4th grade group about this. Some children had some very, VERY wrong information about certain things or had some great questions. I fear the children will be too embarrassed to ask questions or fact check their concerns if they’re in a class with the opposite sex.

DP. These changes are not for children, they are made so that some adults feel better.

Such as the person who wrote the mature post that you quoted.

Because schools educate children and part of being educated is knowing about one's body and about other people's bodies as well.

Maybe they should teach them to spell instead, so many other things they can teach. Why FLE? Parents can teach that stuff.

Because many parents don't! My mom got pregnant at 15 because she did not know what sex was or how pregnancy happened! Her parents would not speak of it and it was not taught in her Catholic schools.

+1

You want fewer unwanted pregnancies/abortions, you start with education.

The fle educationnis already comprehensive and addresses all of the prgnancy and STD risks.

So then why do the PPs above want to get rid of it?

This is the truth. it was all clickbait lies.

It was mostly the exact text of the proposed changes, plus links to the actual FCPS announcement and proposals.

The last post I saw was someone complaining that this information was shared by fcps 2 weeks before the election. Perhaps someone from the politics forum got the thread shut down over possibilityof it becoming an election issue? Other than that twist, most of it was fairly tame factual discussion between actual fcps parents with kids in school.

It was not. The OP said a bunch of lies.

Not one lie was told in that thread.

Discussion one does not agree with does jot constitute a lie. It just means there is disagreement.

The original text was posted.

I REPEAT: Oh you mean the part where you said "they are going to remove all discussion of male and female from the conversation about puberty and talk about how boys and girls get their periods"? That part? THAT WAS A LIE.

I beg to disagree.

The changes propose to teach elementary kids this (from fcps)

Grades 4-6
To support gender combined instruction, the following changes to objectives and descriptive statements are recommended:

Remove the phrase “gender separate” from all Human Growth and Development objectives in grades 4-8.

Remove language that indicated instruction in puberty lessons that would currently only happen for girls or boys
Update language to be more inclusive

The text of the new changes replaces the terms "girls" and "boys" by "assigned male or female at birth." Such as:

"Typical changes for individuals assigned male at birth will include increased shoulder width, erections, and nocturnal emissions. Typical changes for individuals assigned female at birth will include breast development, widening of the hips, and menstruation. "

These are significant changes from what had been a very factually correct, clinical and biologically accurate description for male puberty and female puberty, which are very distinct and different bioogical processes, that occur based off your chromosones and natural human development, and not determined by some random "assigned gender"

In doing so, the curriculum changes remove the distinct and natural biological changes that happen separately and differently to the male and female bodies.

I think you have reading comprehension issues. I read the entire thing and literally the only changes in many places was from "male" to "assigned male at birth". I don't know why this is such a big issue to you unless you have a trans child, which I highly doubt you do. The only change is that your precious little snowflake will be learning about the changes that a member of the opposite sex goes through during puberty and apparently you don't want that.

This. All of it.

If you don't have a trans child, then what do you care? You just want to pretend that these kids - HUMAN BEINGS that go to your child's school and live in society- don't exist. You're repulsive for that.

If you do have a trans kid - god help them.

DP. The FLE curriculum previously taught puberty of both sexes to both sexes. But now that's not inclusive, so they will be generally teaching puberty to all students together, without respect to gender or sex.

Then.Opt.Out.

The FLE is for kids in public school who are learning things that a) they may not get at home, and b) concerns health, safety, sex, sexuality and a number of other topics that -while uncomfortable for you- the kids will hear and experience in their life and in school. It is not meant to be tailored or cut down to the lowest common denominators of fear, prudishness or bigotry. If you don't like it, opt out and/or discuss the lessons with your kid at home and convey your beliefs. Or go private.

Where does it do this? It absolutely does not say anything remotely like that here.

FCPS states in their own text that 4th through 8th grade FLE will Remove language that indicated instruction in puberty lessons that would currently only happen for girls or boys
Update language to be more inclusive

Their words.

Not mine or any other parent.

Do you have kids in fcps?

Page number and paragraph number please.

There’s no page number as it’s all on one big page on the website. I suggest you read the whole page. It’s near the top.

The summary is on one page without page numbers. There is a long pdf linked to on that page as well which show the exact language, changes and vote totals.

It's a question of how effective the presentations will be in a mixed audience vs gender segregated audience even if the same topics are covered.

The PDF lists a how bunch of research papers about inclusion, but doesn't address any concerns about being able to ask questions without the presence of people of the opposite sex

[Anonymous]

I didn't notice any changes and I went to the website to look - the boys and girls are separated for portions of it.

What are the changes? We are new to FCPS.

I did see that "abstinence only" is the only form of STD prevention - didn't care for that.

The first paragraph is the old policy, followed by the replacement policy.each section is marked between current curriculum and proposed curriculum.

Thanks to a previous poster who posted that link - I didn't know about these suggested revisions.

If these pass, will it change for next year at the earliest?

You are looking at the old policy.

Boys and girls are now combined for the entirety of the instruction.

The only kids who are instructed in separated boy/girl classes are a very small and specific category of special education students.

Most fcps will not fall under that specific category of special education.

No that's a different issue entirely.

It's about making feel comfortable with a number of peers facing the same issues and with the same concerns.

Opting out does not create that scenario. At best it means that kids might feel comfortable asking an adult or expecting an adult to pass on that content to them.
