Teaching to gender issues in K is a wonderful way to normalize a concept that is still aggressively fought against by ignorance. If you don't combat ignorance early it sets in.
Again, no need to teach anything about the acts of sex, but gender versus sexual biology? Absolutely --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

EverDownward posted...Save sex ed for puberty or later, honestly. But this kind of information should honestly be discussed in detail with the parents. Yes, I know nobody's perfect and I agree there should be some minimal amount of intervention from the educators - but it shouldn't be entirely up to the educators to tell kids everything. At that point, the state goes from being an instructor to being something of a nanny, a fit in for the parent - and that's not fair to the parents. Like, at no point am I going to be okay with telling a five year old what BDSM and kink in general is. That's not something little kids should be dealing with. --- "And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true, can you?" ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont think anyone would argue differently. Again, sex ed isnt just about sexual positions and whatnot. Sex Ed is also the differences between a penis and a vagina, that a boy and a girl are needed to create a baby, and now the fact that gender and sexual biology are different things. --- ...

So parents are just off the hook now? Shit pop em out and just let em go with as much responsibility is being expected from parents these days. I don't see why you are so insistent that parents teach their kids about sex instead of teachers. Even if I agree with you that parents should bear the responsibility of teaching children about sex, they don't. So it is on teachers to do it. "But we shouldn't play into that!!!" Until you prove why parents NEED to be the ones to teach their kids about sex, I don't see why we shouldn't. There's no harm in sex education in school. Moreover, even the parents who are willing to tell their kids about sex are often bad at it. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think a decent compromise is the school board alerting the parents via some sort of PTA meeting and telling them "hey, we need to come together to discuss what's okay to tell the kids because this kind of information is readily available online and it's a joint effort on both of our parts to keep our kids safe, but also appropriately informed."

Unless you suggest locking up children in their rooms with no tv or internet until they are "old enough". You can't really avoid young children learning about these things from somewhere else. Which is why I suggested what I suggested in a follow up post. I do think it should be a joint effort between the educators and the parents. That way, you've got trusted adults on both sides in a collaborative effort helping inform the kids in a way that is conducive to their growing and still keeping them just out of the edge of what's considered possibly too much for little kids. Don't get me wrong, I was slurring like a sailor by the third grade. I'm not adverse to naughty things, and I get kids will, inevitably, find out sooner or later from either total strangers online, classmates, or even parents. But I'd rather it be the parents and the teachers telling them - just not at such an early age. I think 11 to 13 is a decent enough age. --- "And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true, can you?" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Teaching kids at 11-13 about sex is likely too late since that puberty age.
You don't need to give details about to have sex to a 5 year old but teaching them the concept of consent, that it's okay to be gay/trans at a young age is certainly helpful. It seems to me more that you want to try to keep children "pure" while also reconginzing it's an impossible task. So instead of trying to fight an uphill battle you might as well address their questions earlier so they don't decide to learn about blowjobs else where because trusted adults refuse to answer their question. --- ...

Maybe, but I'd rather try than just let them perhaps unintentionally fall into some shady shit that could have been prevented with the appropriate restraint from trusted adults. I think there's a legitimate slippery slope in just telling kids everything that goes on in the adult world. At what point is it okay for the parent to step in and say "there should be limits" if we're telling kids things that arguably should be saved for when they're older. That's what I'm saying. At that point, there really isn't much of a limit because then the kids might think they understand entirely and won't seek help or advice when they'd arguably absolutely need it. --- "And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true, can you?" ...
