[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP’s refusal to articulate the reason for her objection makes me think it’s not so much fear of their child being groomed at school as fear that their child might share what is happening to them outside of school.  If you don’t want your child spilling the dirty family secrets, step one is to make sure they don’t develop relationships of trust with any other adults.[/quote]

OP writing.  This is my favorite post from cray-cray-crazyytown so far.  Alas, I only seek to know what parents' standing to provide input/object is, in these situations.

There's a weird grooming element to it, in my opinion.  Just my gut.  And yes, I have talked to the school.  Yes, I have talked to my kid.

Happy Holidays.[/quote]

What did your school say?

I’m a bit confused by your replies. Earlier you said it was a concern different than grooming, but didn’t articulate what it was, which I think is what PP is pointing out. Now, it’s grooming. I’m confused and think I’m on your side. [/quote]

NP. Maybe the issue is that it's not grooming for abuse, but OP feels the staff member may be "grooming" the children to not have values that align with his or her own and is hesitant to articulate exactly what that is. OP, is the staff member in question decidedly more liberal, or conservative, than you? Does he or she live a lifestyle that makes you uncomfortable? [/quote]

Omg you guys are insane. A 5th grade lunch bunch is about like, going around the circle and saying something you’re proud of this week. Or if Larla has been feeling isolated, it could be about helping foster positive connections with classmates. It’s not ideological indoctrination, it’s helping 10 year olds be functional little social beings. It’s standard practice. You people are insane. [/quote]
