[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Poster Here: I have taught FLE for 15+ years to fourth graders. I cannot imagine combining genders for this age group. The kids are mortified as it is. Mixing genders in middle school seems to be appropriate, IMO.[/quote] Separating boys and girls and acting like it's such secret info exacerbates their "mortification"...if the adults act like it's classified and possibly embarrasing info, that's how the kids receive it. Tell them the facts young and it won't be such a big deal. Of course kids will have personal reactions, questions, etc. but we should create an environment where this is just info that everyone knows (like history, math, etc.) not one where it's potentially embarrasing. Yikes.[/quote] Teachers do just that - in separate sex classrooms. Hope it continues because it’s worked well for over 30 years. No need to change it.[/quote]
