[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn’t an upcoming vote. They’ve decided to keep genders separate for next year thankfully. [/quote] It looks like they are combining genders for family life education in the pilot program.[/quote] The low income ESOL families have some of the most traditional families. This is a twrrible idea. If fcps is going to combine boys and girls for sex ed, it needs to be in the wealthiest bluest communities in northern Virginia, not the poor immigrant communities. Pilot it in the wealthy neighborhoods with the greatest percentage of democrat votes. I am sure those neighborhoods will be thrilled to have boys and hirls together for 5th-8th grade sex ed.[/quote] OMG boys and girls learning about boobies together and boy parts. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMB boys and girls learning how to talk to each other about sex omg omg omg Kids are smarter than parents.[/quote] This is a juvenile comment. In a survey last year, parents said they didn't want their kids learning about these things with the opposite sex. It seems weird that fcps would start a pilot program doing just that. Your immature scrutiny is misplaced. We should be asking the school board why they're starting this program and not making fun of parents for their questions and concerns.[/quote] DP I’m not going to make fun. I agree, there’s no purpose for that. I don’t really see what’s wrong with same gender classes for FLE. The topics are natural science. Perhaps we should work to move past the “hush hush”, secretive air that surrounds such topics. [/quote] You are in the minority. More than 80% of fcps parents objected in last year's survey. I have a daughter in elementary school. She would be very embarrassed to learn about these things with boys and would not ask any questions. Most children I know are that way. The insistence from our district leadership on the shared space for instruction is strange. It is unpopular so it seems that instead of voting on it, school board members are starting it in a back-door way through this "pilot program." And why? That is cagey and not at all transparent.[/quote] Boundary policy is the least of our problems with this board. Get your kids out of government schools, at least until high school. [/quote]
