Well here in Illinois my 11 year old grand daughter that is 5' 90 pounds, and prettier than many of the Hollywood stars (getting curves to on her long legged, thin body) hasn't a clue........................not a clue on how a girl gets pregnant.
Our TV and movie programs are not child appropriate, even the ones that say they are
I always told my sons, you play - you pay.
Family is family.
My little sister gets suspended for conspiracy theorizing...?,

If you knew how to use the forum and go back to the posts I am responding to you would see that each of my posts makes sense in the context of who I am responding to. Most message boards don't like you to constantly use the quote bar and add too much unnecessarily repetitive dialogue into a discussion.

All you have to do is click on the poster's name in the post. Really it is quite simple.

If you had any children you would know that this happens all the time. Friends, siblings, kids they meet on the playground will teach them all kinds of things.

Yet they are not grouped with the post you are responding to, so it is neccesary to give some indication of what it is that you are replying to... especially since there are more than three people posting

Chiten, Two of my sister in laws are teachers and my best girlfriend is one as well.
Teachers are told what to teach.
They are told exactly what they may and may not say.
In my opinion, many of your replies on this thread show you are not well read, nor have researched this subject very deeply.
There is a propaganda agenda at work here and you just don't see it.
I would suggest you read that book I suggested before you comment further.

That would depend entirely on the situation. Sometimes they have better and more thoughtful ideas about what they are experiencing than I could ever imagine. I learn as much from them as I teach them.

She is not a 6-10 year old.
She is a 10 year old. Plenty old enough for complex critical thought.
She has been exposed to these conspiracies from the age of 6 to 10.
No, 10 year olds are not capable of complex critical thinking, many adults arn't even capable of it. I'm not saying they are dumb. You get smart children but there is a reason they are "children".
Leave the child to be a child, and by all means shape her to develop critical thinking, but don't throw a 10 year old in a deep-end many adults don't want to get in and where many others drown.
You don't know or understand the depth of critical thinking a 10 year old is capable of, I do... Yes there is NO substitute for experience in this regard. Get back to me when you have experienced a variety of 10 year olds.
That would depend entirely on the situation.

Wow, now nefarious tactics are being attributed to me and my posting. Really learn how to use the forum. It is quite simple. You should have zero difficulty in ascertaining which posts I am responding to.

Still trying to discredit me? For all we know you could have failed badly as a parent. I don't need to act a child to debate with one

Although it may be more effective to have a one on one environment, that's not possible, therefore, they have to be taught in groups. The situation you decribed is outdated and no longer the norm.... and blackboards aren't used anymore btw.... it's been a looooooonnnnngggggg time since you were in school hasn't it?
