[quote=Anonymous]We went to the meeting and are opting out of stds and possibly day 3. Too much info for our young 10 yo. I think the STD part is inappropriate because the kids do not yet have the maturity, reference point or knowledge to learn about them effectively. How do you teach STDs when you can't talk about condoms? How do kids understand the risks when they are too young to understand sex? The kids in my child's 5th grade class are still playing with legos & American Girl dolls. They are light years away from sexual promiscuity. We prefer to teach those two days within our moral framework, not in a group setting and absent of any discussion of values. Most of the parents at our meeting said they were opting out of STD day. Whether they actually do remains to be seen. FYI OP, the kids learn about opposite gender maturation on days 1 & 2, and they both see diagrams of the opposite gender genitalia[/quote]
