[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know -- if I opt my child out of his/her grade level, can I opt him/her into that level the next year (when child is a year older?) or do I only have the choice of using the current grade's program/nothing at all?

I have a child who is young for the grade (i.e. summer bday).  I am all for sex ed... but I also know that it has to meet the child at the appropriate emotional/mental level.  So, if I opt my child out at grade 4, can I opt him in to see the grade 4 lesson when he's actually in 5th grade?  Or the same with 5th grade -- can we wait until child is in 6th grade to take part in the lesson that is given to 5th graders?  I don't want to opt the child out of all sex ed -- I just don't think my young-ish kids are ready on the same schedule as it is provided.[/quote]

YOu can also just opt out of certain lessons. That is what we did in fifth for our young for the grade kid. If memory serves me correctly, we opted out of STD day and perhaps intercourse day (not sure about that).

Then we covered those topics in a general way at home so our kid still had the accurate information but at an age appropriate level.[/quote]
