[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who are opting out, when do you opt back in?  At some point (if not now) it would be embarrassing for the kid to have to leave.  Also the information builds year to year, so do you think 2 years from now your child will be ready to hear about sex trafficking, if not given the knowledge about the basics now?

I agree that it's too much too soon, but I also think most kids only absorb what they're ready for.[/quote]

Yes, the sex trafficking was overkill and graphic, and according to my middle schooler made zero sense to most of the kids. I think fcps would make much more senseif they dropped the sex trafficking units and just concentrated specifically on internet privacy and sex offender laws as they relate specifically to girls and boys sending naked pictures of themselves to one another, videotaping sex acts, public sex acts, posting things online, etc. It needs to be taught in context of their friendships and peers and not framed as this big outside sex trafficking network.  That is just not part of the reality of most fcps students and should not be the emphasis. However, there have been several fcps high school students in recent years doing really stupid things with regarss to sharing their own nude pics or thier classmates nude pics and should definitely be heavily addressed in middle amd high school sex ed.[/quote]
