[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW I asked my ten year-old if she would mind and she was horrified. We have always been very open about our bodies, sex, etc. [/quote]

Posing it as a question opens it up - and welcomes an emotional response. Adults are making it way more awkward than it needs to be. [/quote]

Give me a break. I asked in a very even tone “would you mind if they combined the classrooms?”

I guess I don’t understand why people are pushing this. Many teachers don’t want it and many parents and kids don’t want it. The system is not broken. FFS focus on Reading SOLs or something useful. [/quote]

“Would you mind?”

Translates to:
“Why is she asking?”
“Is this something I should mind?”
“Is this a girl v boy thing?”

If my mom is bothering to ask me about it then it’s a thing.

I’m not pushing to (re)merge genders but I do support it. Stop treating menstruation and erections as taboo subjects. They are normal, healthy bodily functions. Nothing at all to be ashamed of.

It’s also developmentally appropriate for younger children to not want to talk about these things in front of their male classmates. [/quote]
