how does a TEN/ELEVEN year old KNOW about those types of sex acts??!?!?!?!?!?!??!
This is why parents need to teach their children, at an age appropriate time, that sex is between one man and one woman** in the confines of a HEALTHY MARRIAGE!**

What do you expect when you have Safe School Czars who advocate kids K-5 to ‘explore their sexual identities.’
What you have is a group of pedophiles plain and simple infiltrating the schools. That’s why I say thank God for those Fundamentalist Christians getting us the right to home-school our children because I will never send my kid to a God-less, Satan/State-worshipping public school. They tried to brainwash me, they ain’t going to do it to my kids. I happily vote down every tax levy the school puts forth in my district.

Came to this forum just now to post that article.
See that you have done so. Thank God for parents who speak up.
“Lesson” given by the principal? Horrendous. Intrusive. YUCK.

My fifth grade classmates and I knew, at least vaguely, about such things and that was 40 years ago in Podunk, Iowa. Given how sex-saturated our culture has become, I would be surprised if any fifth graders hadn’t heard about such things. However, I doubt that fifth graders today would be any more likely to mention those topics with their parents than we were back then.

Disgusting that a school would allow that to be taught. Of course what should you expect in today’s culture of death?

Principals should not be teaching kids how to give oral sex! Or any other kind of sex. Sex is something only parents should guide and instruct.
Our kids were enrolled in a unique program where the school merely sponsored the education. Parents and kids came to the classes together. No parent, no kid allowed in. The instructor gave an introduction, there was some discussion, question and answer, and handed out materials to kids and to parents. Then parent and child talked alone together while. When they went home there was a more lengthy, intimate discussion. There was a series of 7 more classes for the year, and there were classes each year for a number of grade levels.
It fostered communication between parent and child, the most important aspect of sex education. It originated in Pittsfield, MA. as a response to a very high teen pregnancy rate. That rate plummeted after the program was instituted. It’s called LAMO- Learning About Myself and Others. It presented a balanced idea that sex was not just physical, but social, moral, personal, emotional, familial, etc. A specifically Catholic version was developed later. Not sure what happened to it; it seems to have vanished these days.

I’m quite sure there are fifth graders who don’t know about such acts. I was in fifth grade only ten years ago and did not know about them. And I wasn’t even raised in a religious home.
Hearing the acts described by my principal at that age would have freaked me out.

Thankfully, there are still many who don’t know. Dale_M may have just been running around with the wrong sort.
We were watching Turner and Hooch last night, and after a line about “getting laid,” my 10-1/2-year-old asked “what did he mean?” Luckily, he went to bed before the “you humped the vet” line.

I once read a story about a girl who had been told by her mother, “Don’t kiss a boy, you’ll get pregnant.” She met a boy, and steadfastly refused to kiss him. However, the boy suggested that they do other things, things that weren’t kissing. Inevitably, she ended up pregnant: “But I didn’t kiss him mother.”
We need to give children accurate information about diseases (and pregnancy
) and how they are caught. Inaccurate information is not a great deal of use. That means they you have to be sure that the children understand what they are being told. Telling kids, “Doing oomforgison will make you ill,” is not a lot of use if the children don’t know what oomforgison is. Since the question was asked, it was up to the teacher to answer it in a manner appropriate to the age of the children, and the requirements of the lesson being taught.What I got from the article was the the lesson was part of the agreed curriculum and that the teacher was responding to a question from a pupil. Without an actual recording of what exactly was said it is difficult to see where the teacher went wrong, if at all.

How do fifth graders know about such things? That’s an easy one.
Go to a porn site on the net. Sometimes you may be asked to check a box stating that you are 18 yrs old before entering. Most times, you have access to any kind of perverted pictures and videos you could ever imagine.
If you don’t think our kids are using these sites, I’m afraid you are kidding yourself.
Peace

How do 5th graders know?
Well, sex drive starts to develop around that age, and so kids get mighty curious about that sort of thing. As others mentioned, the info is EVERYWHERE. And the secular media is more than happy to share their values with kids.
Catholics need to stop being so shy and actually share their values without clamming up and shutting down the conversation.
