[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL.  So a group of 4th grade boys have a teacher-led discussion about anal sex and your child happens to be out for a "doctor's appointment" that afternoon.  When he returns to school, don't you think that the other 4th grade boys are going to clue him in on what he missed?!!!  And this is not a private v. public school discussion ... not much difference.

When we selected our child's school, he was barely 4 years old ... we compared schools across many criteria, but the content of sex education classes honestly never crossed our minds.  I'm not so worked up about it that I would change schools ... but I do think this DCUM discussion is a good introduction to parents just starting to consider schools as to what might be in their future.[/quote]

But often you don't know what your private is going to do or when.  Our liberal SN private (so very few options for selection) did not tell us that the health lesson on abortion was coming up.  I had covered all other issues involving sex, reproduction, STDs, periods, everything you can think of during "Girl's Camp" while on vacation between 4th and 5th grade - and did it the way I wanted to do - from a Christian point of view (go ahead, flame away!).  Fortunately, she had not been given wrong information as I had at the same age.  I covered everything, thought I had done a great job, and really thought at the time I could put off abortion for the time being.  Wrong.  It was presented the way the school wanted to present it without any warning and my daughter came home horrified.[/quote]

I guess Christ must have had a lot to say about abortion and "the gay lifestyle," as self-described Christians are so confident about his stance on these issues.   I tried reading the New Testament, but oddly I couldn't find anything about birth control or homosexuality, just a lot of stuff about being nice to poor people and forgiving sinners. [/quote]
