Why is the burden on us to opt out? Why not just make it a program people would agree on? Why the desperation to combine young boys and girls to discuss puberty when parents and children overwhelmingly don't want this? Why even ask parents to take surveys if you're going to ignore them?

I absolutely think there should be a sex-ed/FLE class for all the kids. But not a coed class. Why? What's the point? I want my kids to feel free to ask any embarrassing questions they might have and it's a guarantee they will not if they're in a mixed-sex class.

It looks like they are combining genders for family life education in the pilot program.
The low income ESOL families have some of the most traditional families.
This is a twrrible idea.
If fcps is going to combine boys and girls for sex ed, it needs to be in the wealthiest bluest communities in northern Virginia, not the poor immigrant communities.
Pilot it in the wealthy neighborhoods with the greatest percentage of democrat votes. I am sure those neighborhoods will be thrilled to have boys and hirls together for 5th-8th grade sex ed.
OMG boys and girls learning about boobies together and boy parts. OMG OMG OMG OMG
OMB boys and girls learning how to talk to each other about sex omg omg omg
Kids are smarter than parents.
This is a juvenile comment. In a survey last year, parents said they didn't want their kids learning about these things with the opposite sex. It seems weird that fcps would start a pilot program doing just that. Your immature scrutiny is misplaced. We should be asking the school board why they're starting this program and not making fun of parents for their questions and concerns.

I’m not going to make fun. I agree, there’s no purpose for that. I don’t really see what’s wrong with same gender classes for FLE. The topics are natural science. Perhaps we should work to move past the “hush hush”, secretive air that surrounds such topics.
You are in the minority. More than 80% of fcps parents objected in last year's survey. I have a daughter in elementary school. She would be very embarrassed to learn about these things with boys and would not ask any questions. Most children I know are that way. The insistence from our district leadership on the shared space for instruction is strange. It is unpopular so it seems that instead of voting on it, school board members are starting it in a back-door way through this "pilot program." And why? That is cagey and not at all transparent.

This is how the SB operates. They send out surveys under the pretense of taking parents' opinions and preferences into account. Then they totally disregard the results and do whatever the hell they were planning on doing anyway.

Agree. If that is what they are doing, it is pretty low.

DP. Sadly, you don't seem smart at all. Neither boys nor girls are going to feel comfortable asking questions about sex-ed in mixed-gender classrooms. How misguided could you possibly be...

No doubt because there isn't much/any parental involvement there to push back on this idiotic idea.

Boundary policy is the least of our problems with this board.
Get your kids out of government schools, at least until high school.

An idea the left is committed to embedding in the minds of children, to prevent parents from influencing them with their family’s traditions and beliefs.
Government-approved teachers who confirm to the party line are above parents.

Interesting that you cite church for how something could work better in public school. We need to keep church and school separate. As the last survey showed, the FCPS community is not interested in those FLE changes, even if you are using some of them in your church. I think some of the district leadership belongs to your church. Maybe you are one of them. Still, no thanks on your recommendations from church.

My first post was responding to the concern about shared-sex classes. I was merely giving my experience with shared-sex classes and how they can work. Then I was asked if it was FCPS “light” and I said no actually it is FCPS the one that is light in comparison , but was met with “no dear”, so I posted a link.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Where did I say it should be in the public schools?Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Here is a link and you can see for yourself. https://www.uua.org/re/owlAnonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:FCPS is the lighter version.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Our Congregation does a full year program in 8th grade and it includes everyone.

The kids don’t want this either, so maybe they are smarter.
And are the topics the same as they are with the 8th-grade FCPS curriculum or is it a lighter version?
No, dear.
Please keep your religion out of public schools.
Then what is the point of your post? This is a thread about FLE at FCPS. What you do in your place of worship is a very different issue. Parents and students at FCPS don't want shared-sex FLE classes in the district or in the disguised pilot program for 15 elementary schools.
