[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought people opting out of FLE are conservative [/quote] no... I'm a raving Dem and I opted my kids out of some of the FLE days. You should look at the details. You might be surprised how explicit it gets for kids as young as 10. Maybe some need all the details... but most don't at that age. My DD was coming home crying on FLE days b/c she was so freaked out by it. She didn't need to know about AIDS and gonnorhea at that age. Just the thought of blood coming out of her was plenty enough eye-opening.[/quote] Ok thanks. I'm probably too lazy to opt out ... and [b]did sex ed research so am ok with it being taught young[/b]. It's more effective for them to learn these things before they are sexually active. [/quote] PP here -- I assumed I would be too. Then I looked at the details and also saw how my child was reacting to it.... and realized that just b/c it is factual does not mean it is age-appropriate. Don't assume that the school is making good decisions in this area. Normally, I would assume that what's approved in a public school must be totally tame.... don't assume that.[/quote] Second this. The discussions of human trafficking with sixth graders seems really off to me. We ended up going the catholic school route, partly because of my concerns over this curriculum. [/quote] Better to be safe and ignorant. Smart choice.[/quote]
