[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Exactly. Stop this cycle of ignorance and taboo. [/quote]

Okay, so when your male co-workers start talking about sex in front of you I hope you aren’t embarrassed. I hope you don’t claim #metoo or something. After all, we should all be comfortable with this stuff, right? What if they are talking about their penises in a scientific way - is that okay? [/quote]

Talking about sex during sex ed is appropriate.

Talking about sex at work is not. Unless you work in sex field.

Personally I feel comfortable talking about sex in just about any environment. It’s just sex. A normal, healthy body function.
