[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok? It’s 2023. Glad to see VA is finally catching up with the rest of the world. [/quote]

Really? You honestly think that little girls should have to learn for the first time about periods with their male classmates? Shouldn’t we allow them the modesty to be able to ask questions privately without their boy classmates there?[/quote]

It’s the human body.

Modesty is absurd. Boys should absolutely know a girls body and girls should know boys.

You are ridiculous. [/quote]

This exactly. My son was amazed at everything the girls have to deal with and had a lot of questions at home about periods, why no one has "solved" this problem... In no way does he see a period as something shameful. Instead, he came away wanting to learn more about the medical side of things. Boys absolutely should know more. Same for girls, but I do think that girls generally usually have the burden of having to know more, and I'm happy that my son now has to share some burden too. [/quote]

OK. But the boys can learn it with or without girls in the class.

But why? What's the magic of segregating the kids by sex? And don't tell me that there's not something helpful to the boys actually having to sit there with the girls and learn that the girls have pretty significant life changing shit coming up that isn't hypothetical about girls across the hallway but about actual humans they know and are sitting next to in class? I feel like this is another version of "if you can't talk about sex, you shouldn't have it." If you can't sit next to people who aren't exactly like you, then maybe school isn't for you and you should be homeschooled? [/quote]
