I got the dreaded letter home from my daughters school yesterday. Ya know? The one talking about "The Movie". They no longer refer to it as "Sex Education" but a "Personal Development Program". Uh huh...
Now, I am doing ok with my daughter moving into adolescence (mostly) and we have had age appropriate talks about it all. What I feel is age appropriate. This letter gives no indication as to what this movie will entail or how much depth it goes into. I have heard horror stories from other parents whose children have already made the transition to Middle School and have endured the questions this movie inspires. Frankly, I will be bringing this letter with me to her conference this month and posing a few questions myself. So why don't the "parents" of these children get to view this movie? I would like to know first hand what my daughter is going to be experiencing at the really tender age of 10.
I have to say, that it sometimes gets my britches in an uproar that the schools feel they need to raise my child. I had enough issues with this years elections and particular teachers enforcing their personal beliefs in the classroom. If it is such a huge issue to have christianity in the schools, then keep the rest of it out too. Period. Stick to the basics, thank you very much.
And on this subject of hormone rage...my daughter came up to me last night and said..."Mom, my armpits are getting fuzzy."
