[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is 9, and in 4th grade.

She came home yesterday telling me she needs to start wearing deodorant. I asked why.  "The teacher told us to.".  She told the whole class, did not single out my child.

I realize it's getting hot and the kids are getting sweaty at recess.  But deodorant on a NINE year old????  My child is not in puberty yet.  She doesn't smell.  I buried my face in her arm pit to check, no smell.

[b]I think I'd rather delay my child using deodorant as long as possible because I've heard that they can be linked to breast cancer. [/b] She'll have enough years ahead of her of exposure to deodorant, she doens't need to start at NINE.

Am I way off base here?  Is it normal for a 4th grade teacher to give a blanket directive to a bunch of nine year olds to start using deodorant???[/quote]

That's just stupid. Is that everyone's excuse on the metro? WTF[/quote]

The deodarant causing breast cancer thing was a hoax from the 90's.
