I have a class of 13 year olds, and I made it very clear that we will get into all the disgusting detail. I also told them that if their parents have an issue with it, they are welcome to talk to them and let them know, and then I will exclude that person from the discussion.
So far, it’s worked well. No parental complaints, and we had the class on the sacrament of marriage (and why homosexuality doesn’t work), two weeks ago.
If I can, I’ll bring silent scream, probably in January or February. We shall see.
Thank you for your service! I have first grade this year (6 or 7 years old), so this is not an issue, but my son wants me to teach 8th grade (I think) with him next year, meaning we’ll probably have to get graphic. I’m sure I’d be much more nervous than 14-year-olds!
