We were never separated out back in the 80s. [/quote]

Same here...and I was embarrassed to ask a question about period blood in front of other girls, there would be no way I'd have the courage to ask (or even write it down)  a TMI question in front of boys.[/quote]

But they can at least teach basics. Overall this is going to make people a *lot* more knowledgeable. [/quote]

Can't they teach the "basics" in separated genders? That way, specific questions and details pertaining to gender can be discussed.[/quote]

No questions are asked spontaneously. All questions are written down and vetted first by the teacher. You won’t have a girl embarrassed to ask a question in front of classmates about her period because won’t happen.  There’s no reason to separate by gender. As another PP noted, you don’t separate for any other subjects. [/quote]

They have the option to write them down, plenty ask in front of their peers by raising their hand.[/quote]

Not in the FCPS elementary school where I teach. I’ve been teaching FLE for over 10 years at 5th and 6th grade. We teach the kids to write down their questions. It’s not that difficult. If a kid raises their hand, I simply don’t answer. I say, “I see your hand is up. You can write down your question and we’ll review them.” [/quote]

I also have been teaching FLE for over 10 years, some write down their questions and some ask. Either way is accepted. It’s not that difficult.[/quote]
