[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to gauge what the norm is if/when this is taught in a school setting. And if you are teaching it at home, then what’s the appropriate age?[/quote]

No one is answering your first question. I interned in kindergarten for my internship and in the school setting, it is taught in kindergarten. We went over family dynamics. I am sure it is also taught in pre k but I am not sure about the curriculum. Fast forward and I have taught 3-6th. I am currently teaching 6th grade and yes, we are still talking about it. For instance, we over gender identity, sex assigned at birth, and terminologies for awareness and understanding. It is talked about early on and goes on more in depth. [/quote]
I’m so curious to learn where (generally) you are. We left DMV and are in a district considered among the most “progressive” in the nation. Nothing like this is occurring at all. Many families have two moms or dads, there are trans and non-binary kids, and there is zero sex or gender ed curriculum in elementary. Introductions with pronouns are a thing. In MS and HS sex ed curriculum is focused on disease and pregnancy prevention. MS and HS students do have access to mental health and counseling resources if they need to talk about something that isn’t safe to talk about at home.[/quote]
