A sad state we are in
 

I know I'm dating myself but back in the 5th grade the most we did was "go steady". It was a big deal to wear your boyfriends i.d. bracelet. Sex was only what we heard about from our older siblings and we thought "no way would our parents do something so gross!" It's so shocking that these kids even know what to do at that age! I guess though girls are sure physically developing alot sooner so that sure doesn't help either!

Principal of school where students had sex in classroom resigns

Having sex with fifth graders is just wrong! Dont do it!

I agree. Unfortunately, the 5th graders in this story were having sex with each other. That was the whole problem. :p

Can you imagine getting the phone call from the principal?

"Hello Ms. Anime'.We have had a slight, umm actually big problem at school today with your son...umm he's well I don't quite know how to say this. but ..umm well we caught him in the back of the classroom with Jill, you know the girl, having sex."

There's a big thud on the other end of the phone line as Ms. Anime' passes out. I know I would but hopefully I have raised my children better than this.

Maybe I'm just being a wuss by saying this, but if I were the principal, I'd invite the parents to the school for an urgent conference and have the kid confess to his parents himself to spare myself the loss of face. :p

Yeah, in my day, they'd say "he/she is "goin with" so & so. Always thought that was a pretty stupid way of sayin theyre "an item"...When I'd hear that expression, my first thought was always "Yeah? Goin with em WHERE?" "Where the hell are they GOIN?"

Al....they aren't "goin with" anyone now.....now they are "talking" with someone...

Seriously? That's the term used nowadays to indicate a couple are dating? No wonder today's generations are confused by the mechanics of dating. They don't even know what to call it.

There is also a new one that I've heard and CAN'T STAND. Nowadays, if you are having sex with a person, but you are not officially commited to them you are "friends with benefits." And what's even more stupid, some of such couples (and I use the term loosely) treat their so called "relationships" as if they were commited. You know, they refuse to date others who might ACTUALLY commit because they are "friends with benefits" with some other person.

I guess if there having sex in the fifth, the Elm Grove teacher must have figured it was OK to give out marijuana and alcohol in the seventh grade....
What wrong with this world besides this, the Middle East, and Dems.:mad:

And if all of that above is not enough when you get to high school you are in serious danger of being molested by your coach.

I blame the parents. People are not teaching their children the right values today. Sex is everywhere and guess what, society allows it!!!!!!!!!!!! The word NO appears to be a forgotten word these days.

NO it is not Isabella
 

That would be the few not the many but there are still kids out there that will say no I know I have a high schooler that is holding the line. Now in Shreveport best to send them to private school becasue you do not want you child to speak ebonics and turn to the gangsta :nono: :nono:
Isaac

I have a 21 y/o still holding the line!:clap: :clap: :clap: Fingers are crossed that she can continue.

I support private Christian schools for this very reason though they seem to still deal with the same issue but how they handle it seems to be the difference between public vs. private schools. My preference now though is homeschooling. I absolutely know he is getting a firm Christian education and not being exposed to anything of any sorts that we don't want planted in his noggin. He is even learning far better than children his age because all of the distractions of school are not there for him.

It all comes down to parental involvement and choices.
