[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was a funny way to end the movie. I heard a few groans as we were leaving the theater. You don't have to show them a porn flick. Just give them high level information. What do you tell them when they see a pregnant woman? [b]I'm a teacher, so the amount of misinformation I hear the kids sharing everyday[/b] led me to tell my daughter the basics (eggs, sperm, embryo) when she was about six. She's eight now and knows the whole story. Tell your kid when you're ready, but just know that the longer you wait, the more likely they'll find out from someone else. [/quote]

Same.

I teach 5th grade.  Sex Ed starts in 4th grade in our system, but it's pretty basic and geared towards the changing that will be happening.  They touch upon all important topics but don't go really in-depth; that part happens during the 5th grade unit.

Here's what happens each year after the unit is over and the kids whose parents didn't want them to participate rejoin the others: "what did you guys do?"  "what was said?"  "did you see pictures of boobs?"  "did they show pictures of naked boys?"  "did you learn was a _____ is?"  "my brother/sister said..." and I spend the next week trying to get them to refocus and stop talking about it, especially to the kids who were opted out.  Kids that age are super curious and full of half information and misinformation.  What's worse than having to wrangle them and get them refocused is having to listen to the severely uneducated say things like, "no way it happens like that!  My mom said the belly button expands and that's how the baby gets out.  She's even got the scar and everything from when I was born!"  If your child is 10/11/12 in the 5th grade and still believes that babies come out of expanding belly buttons, YOU HAVE FAILED as a parent.  And it takes every ounce of professionalism not to correct or educate that poor kid!

You think it doesn't happen, but it does.  Each year I have at least one who doesn't know how babies are made and I have one girl who starts her period and has no idea WTF is happening to her.       [/quote]
