[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started Health B today. They said they've been learning the same stuff since 6th grade. Even doing the same assignments.

What a waste. Either make it really meaningful (not sure how...it would have to be done in-person to be meaningful so they can do stuff like really learn CPR/put a condom on a banana/stuff like that) or just drop it. Replace it with a finance class or driver's ed. Or even a free period so the kids could have a study hall (having time in their schedules for a study hall would do so much more to help their stress than a class talking about ways to reduce stress)[/quote]
You tell your kid just once to use a seatbelt and they always do? Tell them just once not to eat junk food before dinner? Tell them just once to look both ways? Tell them just once of the ills of smoking or drugs? Just once about safe sex? No

Some stuff needs repeating before it really sinks in. At home and in school.[/quote]

Funny.  They don’t apply that logic to other classes.  Like Math.

MCPS teaches Math concepts once and then moves on.  [/quote]
No, math circles back again and again, expanding on topics. English does, too. [/quote]

Math is the exact example I used for my kid who was complaining about learning the same topics in HS Health they covered in middle school.  If they’re learning the same content, it’s more of an issue, but clearly 10th graders and 6th graders need to know different things about sex and drugs, just like 1st graders and 3rd graders need to know different things about fractions.
