Some topics covered in this conversation:
How this family's school teacher overreached by requiring parents to opt out of EACH sex ed lesson and requirement to provide a reason!
Shutting students in class, and teachers being fully aware that kids are not comfortable with what is being taught, and making them endure it anyway.
What some students are saying who are attending the sex ed classes.
How girls are feeling about using unisex toilets (that can be unlocked from the outside!)
Kids and phone use.
Our goal is to inform and empower.
It is our hope is that this conversation will help more parents to reclaim their parental authority:
Ask questions of school teachers and principals
Strengthen family relationships, and focus on your kids
And do what you can to understand better what is going on in our kids’ classrooms and in the school yard.
