Comments on: Just another day of childhood http://mtpleasant.homeschooljournal.net/2006/12/30/just-another-day/ Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.....� Thomas Henry Huxley Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:46:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.4 By: Erica R http://mtpleasant.homeschooljournal.net/2006/12/30/just-another-day/#comment-1206 Erica R Sat, 30 Dec 2006 18:44:42 +0000 http://mtpleasant.homeschooljournal.net/2006/12/30/just-another-day/#comment-1206 Carole, I am pretty sure that you know I teach middle school (?). Anyway, this is a pretty common occurence at our school. We just had our winter dance, and most of the time the chaperones had to spend their time watching the behavior of the girls. The boys usually don't get this way until 8th or 9th grade. But it will happen eventually. How they react has a lot to do with the friends they chose to be with. Sounds like you have done a great job of getting your boys interested in the "right" things with the "right" people. Keep up the good work! Carole,

I can tell you, as a parent of two college age children, that this scenario is SO prevelent. I'm lucky that my kids were put off by such blatent sexuality, but nonetheless, they were witness to it at all levels of ps. This was one of the factors leading to my decision to hs my youngest, who was 7 at the time. Once you've seen it, you just don't want to repeat the same old story. I am totally with you! Let's let our kids have as lengthy a childhood as possible. It only gets harder as you go. ;) Great post! I can tell you, as a parent of two college age children, that this scenario is SO prevelent.
