That class is fine. It's you all that are the problem your poor kids.

It's a ridiculously easy A they learn some shit. Big Whoop.

Health has been taught the same in schools for basically the last 30 years.

As for the pronoun thing your kids are lucky they get that in school. Because many parents are just well you know..... idiots....If you don't like this part remove your kid from public school go to some small religious private see how far that gets them in life. LOL>

HaHa - someone is really lonely and needs attention. This comment doesn't contribute anything. You aren't familiar with the specific issues anyway. (Although I'm happy to see you aren't on board with the homophobic pronoun critic on here)
My child took the class. He's a serious student and athlete who has very little free time. I wanted him to take this so he had room in his schedule. OP and other parents have every right to say the class was not well taught or a good use of time.
My son's teacher wasn't a Health teacher either and seemed really slow and confused. I'm happy they learned about a variety of topics but I agree that CPR should be more than 5 minutes for example.

Are you the type who thinks that poor teaching is just something kids should accept? I feel sorry for your kids. Parents have every right to be frustrated when MCPS isn't doing their best (or even doing well). I'm pretty happy with MCPS but this class was poorly done.

Health class has always been ridiculous. In 7th grade DS had an anti-vax teacher. In DD’s health class, the teacher showed videos produced by Christian Scientists about alcohol and substance abuse. One vignette showed a girl talking about how she wished she didn’t drink because her drinking caused her to get raped. Post-video discussion facilitated by the male health teacher involved a number of boys extensively discussing why it was the girls fault she got raped because she chose to drink.

In another year’s health class, DS was given a questionnaire for discussion that asked about lifetime adverse events experienced - very high on the list of traumas was ….. mother returning work (no mention anywhere about how a father’s employment could be traumatizing). I can’t even begin to unpack that misogyny.

Then there's the unit on healthy social media use which is mostly focused on telling girls not to send revealing pictures of themselves to boys.

MCPS health class is always terrible. Kids don’t even learn about major forms of birth control other than condoms. They definitely don’t learn about over the counter availability if the morning after pill nor about abortion nor about miscarriage and pregnancy complications (which explains a whole lot about why we bow have ridiculous abortion laws that are forcing women to deliver anencephalic babies).

You are an idiot and have no idea what you're talking about, obviously. It is a half year's worth of content stuffed into 3 wks. That is never easy, regardless of how banal the coursework is.

Its 3wks and you/your kid voluntarily signed up for it. The work isn’t hard and it’s doesn’t require analysis like it’s rocket science. Spend some time each day, knock it out bit by bit and then the 3wks is over. If you think the 3wks is tough than take it during the school year.

I think the Summer session has ended now.
