Looks like it. Kids are dumb and can only understand so much. While yes, some concepts are difficult to understand for young brains, but to assume that kids can’t understand other topics is weird, yet also typical, I guess.
You go step-by-step first. Just like I did when I chose to do my science fair project on human reproduction in elementary school. I didn’t know what sperm, chromosomes, zygotes, embryos, eggs (relating to women), trimesters, etc. we’re before I did my research. I had to learn and understand everything in steps.
I mean, my daughter started learning about animal life cycles in 1st and 2nd grade...so while they may not be at the level of genes and chromosomes, there is discussion of the concept of reproduction then.
While I don’t disagree I’d also factor in how much do you want to teach your kid about biology and sexuality at 8. That will vary by how mature your kid is.
Yes, these conditions are biological, so they are not a gender identity.
The chart states it's for 5th grade, which is when many students start puberty.
Tell me what is sensitive about acknowledging the existence of gay people, especially when they are family members of kids in the class?
This is something over which to get hysterical? I went to school in New Jersey, and back then (pre-internet) we saw "the films" as part of health class in the 6th grade.
Actually, yes. Again, I'm going back to the stone ages, but before we were shown "the films," our parents were made aware of the curriculum and had to sign a permission slip. Those who didn't get a signature were put into a different classroom during this one hour lesson. I can't remember that happening to anyone, but it may well have.
So what did?
I also learned about that in second grade, insects, dinosaurs, amphibians, and reptiles specifically. We raised our own caterpillars and learned about their lifecycle up until they hatched from their cocoons and became butterflies. My third grade class read Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the original Elizabethan English. My teacher was great in breaking down the text to where we could understand what they were saying and the plot. We also would switch teachers for certain subjects in third grade at my school. My “other” third grade teacher taught us about different types of art, including famous artists. I first learned about artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, and O’Keefe in her class. We took typing lessons in the fourth grade. I could go on.
Anti-grooming? Seriously? Where did you get that?
"Gay" is not in the bill. Not acknowledging gay people is not in the bill. What is in the bill is "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
Disney has to work with both sides in some capacity moving forward...because of the split you mentioned. It isn't as black and white in every area as some would like it to be.
Deep breath. DeSantis is temporary. Disney is not. WDW and I will both outlast him here in Florida.And more is coming.
It’s not just ‘Don’t Say Gay.” Florida also ordered Disney to alter its diversity training | Commentary
For decades, Disney and Florida politicians have had a symbiotic relationship — kind of like dung beetles and skunk cabbage. Much like the beetles pollinate the foul-smelling plants, Disney w…www.orlandosentinel.com
I am.
It's imaginary.
