[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me understand how this is a religious/values issue?
I can totally understand (and maybe even agree with) the argument to keep them single sex in 4th/5th mostly for the sake of girls who may have genuine logistical issues about their period that they're embarrassed to ask in front of boys.

But how does having a boy in class while your girl is taught the exact same issue change anything regarding the content from your religious point of view?  I'm very confused by that.

It isn’t. It’s simply that being raised in a household that is religious generally means that the kids are raised in a more conservative manner which could mean that when talking about sex and puberty, the mother talks to her daughters and the father talks to his sons. This dynamic leads to girls being more comfortable discussing puberty in front of girls and boys being more comfortable discussing puberty in front of boys. But honestly I think most girls and boys arent comfortable discussing puberty and sex in front of members of the opposite sex. I feel this dynamic changes somewhat as they get older. I’m 40 and I’m comfortable discussing sex in general in front of men. But if we are talking about orgasms and things that are quite intimate, I’m only comfortable discussing this stuff with my close female friends. I don’t think that’s weird. [/quote]
