[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at the assignments/slides the school has with this book, there is a whole glossary of terms. How is my prepubescent little boy supposed to discern whether he is asexual (absent sexual feelings) or just a prepubescent child who is not developmentally at the point to feel those feelings yet? I am finding this to be unnecessarily confusing. [/quote]

Agree.  Again, not all kids develop at the same rate.

Also, none of this is necessary for the school to be discussing with our 11 year olds.  [/quote]

Because you want to free to tell them at home that cis-het is the only acceptable way, and don’t want them to ever get a different message.[/quote]

Well that's not true in our household. We are accepting and I am politically liberal, FYI. I just think a lot of what a child learns should be up to the parents to teach, not the school. I have had my kids come home telling me things from "Health" that I absolutely DO NOT agree with, regarding relationships and other things that are frankly none of the school's business to be teaching them. One teacher told my 5th grader a story about how she met and married her DH and I was like, OMG, don't ever do that, there are SO many red flags here!! Why would a teacher be informing MY child about how to date and marry? So ridiculous.[/quote]
