[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know that the 7th grade FLHS curriculum is new this year (at least at DCs school), so educate yourself on the updated standards and decide whether this is appropriate for your student. [/quote]

As part of your decision, ask yourself whether you prefer for your student to hear the information directly from the teacher, or second-hand from other students.[/quote]

Or... directly from the parent.  I share age appropriate information directly with my kids.  I provide books for additional reading that are in line with my values.  This is not the responsibility of unrelated strangers/adults to discuss sex with my minor child.[/quote]

That's great. However, in addition, they will also hear information second-hand from other middle-schoolers. If you prefer for them to hear the information second-hand from other middle-schoolers, rather than directly from the teacher, that's your decision.[/quote]

They are going to discuss sex with their peers regardless of whether an adult talks with them or not.  So, I'll skip the teacher or unknown educator talking about it with them, coming from a place of authority rather than peer group conversations.[/quote]
