[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it's this: do you need the school to teach your children anything about their own body, development, sex, family? If you do, FCPS will do it for you. Otherwise, opt out.

I've opted out some lessons in the past. I'm opting out of all now. Mine know the biology of sex ed and I taught them the rest myself.

Please. These children don't need anymore on their plates. They are children. Why show them slides of STD infected skin and talk about the impact of AIDS on the body when they're so young? Gross! A 60 minute movie on sex trafficking? No. My children are hardly out of my sight unless they're at school. (And I'm on texting/emailing terms with the teachers.)

You can opt out whatever lesson you choose and you can do something totally different the next year. It's 6th and 7th grade that ...well, look for yourself and make your own decision. The students do not discuss it outside FLE at our school and my children like the group they join as opted out students. Just be aware.[/quote]

Thank you for this. You sound very reasonable and informed.  [/quote]
