[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love FLE to be taught co-ed and yes, I do have a daughter. Separating gives the illusion that there is something shameful or worth hiding about puberty and development. Teaching everyone together means everyone gets the same information and it's presented just like the math, science or language arts is. [/quote]

I agree that there is nothing shameful about puberty and development. It is a part of life and kids need to learn what's going on with their bodies. But I think it's unrealistic to try to teach these topics in co-ed classes. Whether we like it or not, kids in the 4-6th grades are immature and don't have the emotional intelligence to handle these sorts of lessons in a rational way, like they might do with fractions or long division. Kids are shaped by their families, their peers and what they see on TV/movies/online and unfortunately, that means that they are unlikely to have the maturity to handle the lessons together.

Just my 2 cents.[/quote]

Well said.  Refreshing to see basic common sense here, finally.  I can just imagine how a coed lesson on ejaculation or putting on a condom would go.   :roll: [/quote]
