This is one of my wife's pet peeves as well. Last year we got a couple of assignments from the preschool that were wildly beyond the abilities of 3 and 4 year olds.
Hate to be that guy.... They handed my daughter a teen sex education form for us to sign so they could educate her........she's 6 years of age. We recently purchased a house and will be home schooling our daughter this coming year...🤯🤯🤯🤯

Disturbing
I thought my dad (who was a teacher for many years) was a bit unhinged when he didn't want sex ed to be taught in middle school. As with many other trends in education, he was right about where it was going.

It is. And now there are 6 yearolds who have been to that class and are now spreading it on the playground...wtf. I'm in FL this sucks. BTC 4 life I'm checking out of the system.

We've got to make our school decision next year. I think we'll likely try the neighborhood elementary, but then yank her out if any of that bull shit shows up.

We go to a charter school and we're promised that none of this would happen upon entry. Venture capitalist came and restructured the school slightly and now this is part of the curriculum. I talked to some of my coworkers that are from gen z. They recommend to pull the children out of school completely. Shocking because they're only teenagers however they can see the downfall increasing. I'm starting to be of the opinion it's better to try and teach them yourself as they watch a parent work hard towards something versus the general population which is now 100% unfiltered and untethered from the agreed upon community guidelines. Individual tribes sending their children to school to get Mass indoctrinated by the monoculture. I pray for you and your family and wish you nothing but success and fortitude in your teachings.

I totally agree with all of your sentiments. Neither my wife nor I were particularly receptive to any messages directed at us in school, so we suspect are daughter will have a similar immunity. The hope is just that it's a place where she can play with her friends and blow off some energy. I've always assumed most education would happen at home.

Thank you for being a good parent. The world needs you, and your a stacker. Your kids have such a leg up. I'm happy to be in the same space as you. Thank you for all your hard work.

I appreciate it. Good luck with the homeschooling. The only to bring this corrupt system down is parents displaying the kind of conscientiousness that you and your wife are.
I've been so impressed by the caliber of parents on SN. You all are setting a high bar for me to live up to.
