[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, teachers, for your reasonable input. I hope you will contact the board and that maybe they will listen to you.

And other people please read and stop yelling that everyone should learn about both genders. They do from fifth grade on up. And they are together in the older grades as well. We’re really just talking about the 4th/5th timeline for them to be separated. In 4th, when they are 9 years old, it’s their first lesson and they learn only about their gender separately. In fifth it’s still separate but they learn about both genders. [/quote]

Wait.

Are you saying that in addition to being separated by gender in the classroom (unnecessarily) that they should learn DIFFERENT material?

WTF? That is so backwards.

Nope that’s not what she said at all. She explained what FCPS currently does. She didn’t say what they should do. Currently in FCPS, they do learn about both genders beginning in 5th grade. That has never changed over the years. What has changed is they added two new lessons in 4th about puberty for one sex. So girls leaver about girls in 4th. Boys learn about boys in 4th. [/quote]
