[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Key point being you send the curriculum home. I’m glad schools teach this but I do think there is appropriate and inappropriate material and as a parent, I get to decide what I’m comfortable with my kids learning.  [/quote]

Yes...so MCPS give all parents the material beforehand with exhaustive parent meetings just for people like you...what is your point? [/quote]So you want the curriculum and course materials hidden.  Got it.[/quote]
Playground retorts are so... DCUM! [/quote]I used simple logic to reach the conclusion that I did.  The PP (you?) said "MCPS give all parents the material beforehand with exhaustive parent meetings just for people like you...what is your point?"  This tells us PP does not want MCPS to give all parents the materials beforehand.  In other words  PP wants the course materials made unavailable to parents.  A different way of saying that is that PP wants the curriculum and course materials hidden from parents.  I wish wokes would just own up to what they want.[/quote]
