[quote=Anonymous]My kids seem to hear a lot of pop music at school, mostly in PE. I think that's fine and fun... music is great for getting people moving. And I never had any idea about popular culture growing up, because I had intello-hippie parents. It was a detriment as a young teen, and I don't have anything against pop culture for my kids.

But the teachers don't seem to be censoring what the kids are hearing. So in the car, Wrecking Ball came on, and as I reached to change the station, my kindergartner said "Oh, I love this song!" And my 1st grader asked me to download "that song, you know, it goes, "you know you want it, you're a goooood guuuurl!"" and did a little butt-wiggle as he sang.

For now, I've just said "those songs are not for children because they talk about romance and other grownup stuff". ("Romance" is code at our house for all that lovey-dovey stuff like kissing on the mouth, but does not include hugs and kisses with family.) But if it was happening at your children's school, would you address it with the PE teacher (who is fresh out of college and in a little over her head), or the principal, or would you keep the discussions of readily-available but totally-inappropriate pop culture at home?
