Elementary Principal Teaches Oral & Anal Sex to 5th Graders: OK?

you know what xxx is

Okay, I didn't read the question right! >.> I should've chosen WRONG... 5th graders are too young to know anything about SEX (Anal, Oral, or Vaginal)... >.> It should wait until they're teens... I think about 8th or 9th Grade would be appropriate for them to learn about sex of all kinds...

That is disgusting, children should be playing and enjoying themselves, not hearing opinions about sex acts.

Depends on if the child expresses curiosity about the subject or not. The dialog about sex should be established in kindergarden. Sex ed should be age appropriate.

Some parents refuse to teach their children beyond that age. Look how they turn out sometimes. The point is kids have started to have sex at earlier ages. Yes there are 5th graders having sex, don't be surprised. Parents may not know so they decide we can wait to tell them. However you can't wait. You wait and you daughter could end up pregnant or your son could end up a dad at the age of 12. I even know some people who have had sex in and even before 5th grade. Would you rather your children play rape tag, which started in Minnesota, but slowly is spreading.

wrong

They are gonna learn about it from somewhere.

That should wait until 9th grade, when they should teach sex education.

I would kick her ass if my daughter were in that group...

It's been part of the curriculum for the past 20 or so years and it's not like the principal was teaching it "hands on" (well 'month on' or 'ass on'), but was simply answering a couple of questions in a factual manner. Nothing obscene nor vulgar, just factual and every parent has the option to opt their kid(s) out of the class. So if any of the parents have any grief with what was taught, that's their fault for not deciding to keep their kid out of that class. They're also the same parents who raise their kids to be ignorant and then end up being grandparents before their kids are even out of high school.

Time for a chapter of the KKK to make a visit to the Principal and do what they do well - tie his sorry ass to a tree and give him fifty lashes. But, perhaps he didn't really "teach" anything, but is accused of that by the RWNJs who wouldn't want their fifth graders to know about the things they see on the television when alone in their rooms with friends and
talk about every day.

It's called Sex Ed.

SEX ED. ROCKS

Sex Ed shouldn't be being taught until middle school. Not to little kids in the 5th grade. At that age, most girls aren't even getting their period yet.

It's been part of the curriculum for over 20 years and this is one of the extremely few times that it's caused any issues. The reason they teach that young is because some kids start hitting puberty at that age and it's better to teach them before it hits rather than after, because if they wait until after, it might be too late. It's a smart and sensible way to do it. Besides, most of the kids by that age already have an idea/concept about sex, why not give them the correct info instead of letting them dwell on it in ignorance? (I know that I was trying to get it on with girls in my class when I was 9/10.. Sooo....)

Girls don't have to have their period to have sex. I used to know a bunch of people who were having sex back in 5th grade. Times have changed and standards have lowered. Society is falling apart.

Really. Girls don't have to have their period to have sex? >.> I was referring to their age not their ability to have sex >.>

You mentioned period, should have just left it at age. If you're at the age when a someone gets more sexually interested you need to teach them. Do want want to just run around having sex and getting all kinds of diseases.

I was saying that their bodies aren't mature enough yet to even have their period. Geeze. That some girls are too young yet for it.

And that has nothing to do with them learning about sex.

Inappropriate for 5th graders. That's disgusting.

If they were older it wouldnt be so bad but REALLY 5th graders!?!?!?!?

Maybe a bit too early, but better that than too late!
And also better than my experience, priest are not the right ones to give you sexual education...

While I think sex education and the dangers of STDs is very important, the age group (10 year olds) it is directed at is extremely inappropriate.

Reminds me of an old Dick Van Dyke TV show in which his son asks him "where he came from". His dad begins tip-toeing around the birds and the bees, to which his son replies " Well, Tommy said he came from Cincinnati, so I just wondered where I came from".

Sex education should be taught in the home. P arents should take some responsibility in this, what is the point of parents complaining that schools are showing their kids indecent pictures, if they had proper parenting skills the schools wouldn't have to give such lessons in the first place.

Most parents can't be entrusted with teaching sex education for the same reason they can't be entrusted with teaching trigonometry. Most are poor teachers and many don't really understand the material.

Good parenting isn't trigonometry or rocket science, it's common sense. Nobody said it would be easy, but it's a task you enrol in when you become a parent, i think you will find that most parents are a lot better than you credit them, but the PC Nanny State and Liberal brigade take the view that Big Brother knows best, pfft. Mum and dad know best, unless proven otherwise.

For teaching morality and ethics, sure. For a thorough education in sex and sexuality, no way.

Let's agree to disagree, i brought up two kids whom i am proud of without the social engineering of the state.

Kids are naturally curious about sex, so they will learn on their own unless taught in a non threatening way. When sex ed is offered in a school, parents are sent a consentment letter outlining the curriculum.

The timing couldn't have been more relevant, since right now more and more young men are coming forward in the Sandusky trial. If they had been better informed about anal sex, perhaps some would have escaped his ' fatherly love' .

I think it should be okay but they should done it with cartoon than when they older show it the real stuff...

They're not teaching oral or anal sex, they're teaching the kids how to protect themselves by teaching them how STD's are contracted and spread. It's impossible to do that without explaining the physicality of the process.

I think thats a bit too young...

What is your problem with sex? It's just so natural. They should be able to learn about their own nature.

If the parents think it's OK to teach their children about sex at that age, they should do it at home. But I'm pretty sure a lot of parents do NOT wish their children to learn about oral and anal that soon. So I say schools should not teach it.

Terrible. I would be a pissed off parent. What is wrong with this teacher??!! I learned about STD's without being given graphic details of sex acts.

Perhaps the answer to the question was badly phrased but children do need to know about sex early. Unfortunately parents these days do not teach their kid so the schools have had to pick up the slack.
Parents are too afraid of the topic with their kids now days. My mother was totally honest with me about how babies are made when I was 5 years old. I grew up just fine and I didn't have sex till I was 16 even though I knew what it was.
"raping their innocence" Roflmao that is such a stupid statement. Most kids believe it or not are very sexually curious at that age and if not taught about it will go on the internet/ experiment with other kids. (by experiment I mean things like masturbation, or "playing house" where they get naked and perhaps touch each other, and yes in some cases even end up having vaginal penetration sex)

What the____!
