Will they be learning all 76 genders? If not it's just regressive and bigoted education.

Such bullshit. CD, what are your preferred pronouns?

We are having the same stupid shit rolled out here. The kids might be staying in Montessori for a bit longer than we had originally planned.YellowSnow said:UW_Doog_Bot said:Will they be learning all 76 genders? If not it's just regressive and bigoted education.
I'm glad we can find space in the pedagogy for these topics as early as Kindergarten but still don't require basic financial or economic literacy as part of a public education all the way through high school graduation. -

I might. I'm struggling with the response, however. Look, all I care about at this age is that my kid is a good human and treats hit classmates with respect. Follow the Golden Rule. But how the fuck is a 5.5 year old supposed to start processing transgender issues? Fucking Christ...HHusky said:

I don't get the worry here. Are you concerned your son will want to be be trans because he learns about it in school? -
I don't really think that's anyone's worry. It's simply disproportionate attention to something that has very little to do with the school's mission once it extends beyond emphasizing the golden rule.BennyBeaver said:

The longer they stay in Montesorri, they longer it will take them to catch up if/when they go to a more traditional school.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Totally agree about your personal finance/economics poont. -
No, I'm not worried about my kid wanting to be trans and I'm not pulling my kid from class that day. My family respects differences just fine (e.g., be a best man at a same sex wedding -before it was legal - and then pop off). But my objection is the age they are trying to teach this shit to kids. They're fucking 5 or 6 depending - how are they supposed to process this information?BennyBeaver said:

We spent months on the metric system in elementary school. -
My wife specializes in child development and education. She's got binders for each of our kids for their development. My kids are way ahead of every metric except size. If anything, I worry about them being bored and acting out in a traditional school where they don't have mixed age education and where the standards have been lowered. Don't confuse Montessori with Waldorf. That's a totally different monster.BennyBeaver said:

Seattle is lost. Has been for a long tim.

My kids are in their twenties and I never ran into this preferred pronoun question until the youngest of them was entering college four years ago. Yet my kids and their generation appear to have picked all of this stuff up on the fly, simply through ordinary socialization. (They all think I'm so not woke for being confused by the pronoun thing and wanting to know "what" their friend is.)

Again: what is the point of this curriculum at age 5/6? I don't get its importance at this point in a child's development.BennyBeaver said:

It isn't important. It is another chance for the liberal education elites to pat themselves on the back and virtue signal to all their low rent liberal retard friends who make 50K a year about how woke they are. The CirrhosisBros love this shit.YellowSnow said:

It may be harmless, but one day isn't going to accomplish anything either. Meanwhile, it just creates another opportunity to bash public education that amounts to an unforced error.BennyBeaver said:

Personally I think it's just another way to weaken, divide and destroy the moral and social fabric of our nation. We are dealing with one worlders who wish to dissolve our country by any means necessary.Swaye said:

I have recently received several business emails with a line below the signature that says "Pronouns: She, Her, Hers".....(or similar). Helpful I guess? I was just thankful that (we) are still using pronouns I recognize.
It's a brave new world -
Its not just Seattle...had a relative who had to deal with something similar in the Midwest. They hired 2 transgendered teachers, one of which was a kindergarten teacher, and then put the entire kindergarten class through some sort of day-long transgender awareness training thing without telling the parents until afterwards. Needless to say the parents weren't real happy...
Texas seems to be safe so far, but we'll see how long that lasts...

I don't want to give unintended offense--my offensiveness is usually intended.

This is my biggest fear currently... how are the schools going to teach my kids. YellowSnow, my kids would be out of there. We, as parents, certainly are responsible for raising our children but when it comes to a school providing poor education to my kids 7-8 hours a day, they are out of there. Transgender Studies, that's bull shit. It should be bundled in to Psychology and mental illness, which I don't remember taking until I was in college and possibly a chapter in HS. Did that change how I treated people, hell no, but it certainly spared me from putting irrational and unnecessary doubt in my head (and fellow students) that could lead me to a suicide attempt rate of 40%.YellowSnow said:

If you don't fight, nobody will, and they will push their agenda on our poor children and do their best to shape them how they desire, not how a traditional childhood development should be.

My only advice is that it's a golden opportunity for the kids to learn to question authority and that not everything they are taught in school is factual.YellowSnow said:
