[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not in Mcps but I teach sex ed in another state. I send home the curriculum to parents and I usually don’t hear a peep back. If I do, it’s to express their relief that someone else is covering this material. Do you really want your kid to go to the bathroom one day, see blood, and think they’re dying? Do you want your son to be freaking out that he’s shorter than boys already starting puberty? And yes, many do start puberty in fifth. Something like 80 percent of 11 year old boys and a somewhat smaller percent of girls have seen porn and are scared and confused by it. Wouldn’t you rather they get affirming and reassuring and factual and normalizing information? If you don’t want them learning this stuff at school or from porn or their friend John’s older brother, then get to these topics with them first, but if you wait until after fifth to talk about reproduction, you’re too late. They’ve already learned something about it from someone else.[/quote]
Sorry. Gotta keep the culture wars going![/quote]
