[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was definitely co-ed for my fifth grader in APS. Reports from my kid and others was positive - no one made stupid jokes or laughed etc. [b]Every kid got a piece of paper and had to write something on it, a question or otherwise, and they were collected ahead of time and answered[/b]. They could also raise hands and ask questions. [/quote]

This approach covers kids who may be embarrassed.

The way this plays out is that kids do not want to be seen submitting a question. Slips of paper don’t work. Perhaps a google form would be better. Either way, many tweens (no matter how enlightened or virtuous their parents may be) are awkward and uncomfortable discussing sex and more so around kids of the opposite sex. I also worry that parents from more religious or traditional backgrounds will opt their kids out if coed and sex Ed is very important as many families do not teach this at home. This isn’t the hill I’m going to die on but making sex Ed coed is problematic. [/quote]
