Or gender studies. Totally unnecessary[/quote]

MCPS middle schools don't have "gender studies" as a core course, but thanks for showing up here and being an idiot.  Don't you have some memes to post on Facebook?[/quote]

Its part of health class. My son had 3 periods on gender identity and such. [/quote]

So kids learn about gender identity during health class (mine didn't mention this), but that's not a class in "gender studies."  If it's part of the human sexuality unit, PP can always have their kid opt out.  But this isn't a helpful solution for the math instruction problem, since PE/health is mandatory.  [/quote]

It’s usually not done under human sexuality so it can’t be opted out of.   I believe that’s how MoCo handles it. [/quote]

But regardless, you can't opt out of PE/health so you can't get to 60 minutes of math per day by skipping "gender studies," which was the not-helpful suggestion by the PP.  If folks have concerns about the MCPS health curriculum, maybe start a new thread.[/quote]

We are throwing suggestions what can be eliminated for extra math. I totally support more math and less gender identity studies. Absolutely worthless information. If it means no health class/PE im all in.[/quote]

Good for you!  Health class is only one quarter, and MCPS requires PE and health in MS. So that's about as helpful as saying let's eliminate world history or some other class that is required by MCPS.  They are not going to overhaul the entire MS curriculum because a couple of yahoos don't want their kids talking about "gender" for maybe a few days out of the year.

On the other hand, finding the time during advisory could be a realistic solution.  [/quote]

We are trying to find extra minutes for math so taking away 3 periods of gender talk is already 132 additional minutes. I fully comprehend that MCPS will not do it because we are all for equity here. [/quote]
