This class could be described as a class on sexuality, but it is not a Sex Education class or a True Love Waits class. Students should have the "sex talk" with their parents. I have no doubt that sex will come up in our discussions based on the issues we will talk about. Also, sex should only be between a husband and wife and that is where we stand [we just aren't using True Love Waits "curriculum"].
We will discuss homosexuality, pornography, dating, and relationships. What are guys/girls thinking? How are things perceived differently among genders? Etc. Some things are well suited to be taught in a mixed gender setting while discussion will most often be set up in a single gender setting.
Parents, grandparents, guardians, volunteers, you are welcome to sit in on these classes. That goes for all of our classes. And, of course, if something is put on your heart to share then I encourage you to do so.
There will be a separate 6th and 7th grade class during these four weeks. If you want your child to be a part of the 8th-12th grade class then you can choose that and let me know. If you want your child to be a part of the 6th-7th grade class then that is also an option. If I do not hear from you, then this is how it will remain.
This is a great opportunity for high schoolers to find out some answers to questions they're asking. You don't want to miss out on this!
