[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids in MS and HS and have had to do this twice-- but same teacher in 4th grade. The first time because I tried to work with the teacher on an issue for some period of time, and she was just not responsive. The second time was because DC brought home a book from her classroom library (property of Tacher X written on it).  When I was flipping through it, I discovered  that it contained graphic descriptions of group sex scenes. Honestly, I thought that was so beyond the pale that the administration should know.

ha ha very funny trollary.[/quote]

PP on this and absolutely not a troll. It was a book about of Indian Folklore, which is probably how it ended up in the classroom library.  She must have had it donated or got it at something like a library sale and not vetted it.  But when I started reading it, there were descriptions of Indian mythological women having sex with two Gods that were so graphic it made me uncomfortable.   And yes, I was livid and thought exposing 4th graders to this was something that warranted going over the teacher's head. Plus, DC had already read the book, so that made for an interesting conversation with my 10 year old. [/quote]

Really? How utterly uptight you are, you belong in the bible belt. Firstly your 10 year old should know about sex. Secondly these are not photographs they are illustrations and that's part of Indian culture.[/quote]

This is not a college class or an adult book club.  Would you really talk to your 10 year old about orgasms lighting a woman's hair on fire while she is being penetrated in two orifices by two men?  Do you include theeesomes in your discussion of sex with an ES aged kid? Do you really feel like your 10 year old has the emotional maturity to understand this? Would you tell a 4th grader this is okay, and expect them to understand cultural relativism? If so, them yes, we have very different parenting styles, and I will cop to being an uptight prude in comparison.  [/quote]

No, but you failed to leave out these details previously.[/quote]

NP here, you're totally out of line. The first PP mentioned graphic descriptions of group sex, what more do you need to decide that this is inappropriate for a 10 year old? Moron.
