Don't play games with me Aussie. You know the word. Your kind specialize in it's usage!
Good. Protect the kids! No sexual talk should happen in schools with young children. There is NO REASON teachers should be talking about this stuff with children that young.
I think I wasn't even provided sex ed until I was around 10 years old and the parents had to okay you being taught it. It was all based on anatomy and how the plumbing works. Very scientific stuff.
Same. I think I was 10 or 11 and the parents had to side a form to sit in the class. They separated boys and girls as well.I think I wasn't even provided sex ed until I was around 10 years old and the parents had to okay you being taught it.

I still think parents should be teaching this stuff, not schools. Schools need to be teaching about credit, taxes, and loans as well as finding proper health care. Mr. Florida signed off on a bill that will require it for graduation. I hope other states follow that.
Let kids be kids again and let high school teach teens things they will need to know after they turn 18.
Yeah I didn't learn about any sort of Sex Ed at school until 10-11, and it was mainly things like bodily functions and care (also separated lessons by gender). I think we were 14 or 15 before they actually got into the nifty gritty of "one day you'll have sex, use protection or get an STI or baby" until I was 14 or 15.
I don't think that's unreasonable.
Also on the whole "what will I tell my students about...": good gosh, I don't recall talking to ANY of my K-6 teachers about their personal lives, and usually it was a general "we did [x]" or were anecdotes about something that happened solely to them.
And this is in a small town where the parents would certainly already hear rumours externally if Mr Smith was into BDSM or booked an excess of prostate exams.

Yeah, none of my teachers ever talked about their personal lives be they gay, straight, or whatever. Even if they had kids, they wouldn't talk about them.
Well, here is some thoughtful and poignant commentary from my favourite empathetic pastor, author of "If God Is Love, Don't Be A Jerk"
