10 and 11 year olds are having sex. Sure. [/quote]

So they can read about it just not do it. Makes perfect sense.  :roll: [/quote]

These books aren’t being assigned to 10 year olds, you dolt.[/quote]

Some kids are 10 in 6th grade and turn 11 that fall.  The discussion is about 6th graders.  If you 11 year old is in 5th, something is seriously wrong.[/quote]

You all just make anything up and post it here, don’t you? 😂😂

Most 5th graders turn 11 during that particular school year. This means...

-they were 9-10 in 4th grade
-they were 8-9 in 3rd grade
-they were 7-8 in 2nd grade 
-they were 6-7 in 1st grade 
-they were 5-6 in Kindergarten.[/quote]

Your math is off.  My child was 10 starting 6th grade.  Turned 11 that fall.  [/quote]

Your child is the outlier nowadays. Most kids turn 12 in the winter/spring of 6th grade.  The fall birthday kids are usually turning 12 in the fall.  The only reason now aways for kids to be off this age is if they attended K/1 in a school or district with a cutoff after September 1, they red-shirtrd which makes them even older, or they skipped a grade.

In the context of the original topic, who do you think the books are going to be more geared towards; the majority pre-teens/teens or the few kids just turning 11?[/quote]

MCPS allows early entry.   Its really not even a discussion as we are in 6th grade and we have yet to have any books in ES or MS. Either way those are not appropriate for 11 year olds.   If parents hold their kids back and kids are 12, they have to deal with the slower curriculum.[/quote]
