i go put my son on a waiting list for a private school. i don't want him going to a school where they talk about sex and abortion at the ripe old ages of 6-10

Unfortunately, we live in a society where everyone wears their beliefs on their shirt sleeve. There's a good chance that, regardless of what school you send your child to, they will be exposed to something that they're too young to understand.
If you choose to dump all of life's ugliness on your child when they are young, that's your choice. If you choose to keep it simple and not go into any more detail than neccessary, that's your choice.

And do you really think that in private school the 6-10 year old's don't discuss sex and other stuff. BOY..you got another thing coming. Sometimes they are worse in private schools then in public.
I went to a private school..

Hmm..my parents didn't to bad, I didn't end up in jail, on drugs or drinking at a young age. Nor did I end up having a baby when I was 14 or 15. My parents were up front and honest with me about all questions that I asked.

HaHa good luck finding a school like that. One of my best friend teaches kindergarten at a local elementary school. This good friend has a very ample rear and numerous times the little boys in the class has commented on its size and how they would like to hit that. They don't know what that means but they pick it up from parents, friends, etc.

Loving My Life...
My son will be 9 and he has never said the word sex. The only thind he has asked is when you have a baby where does it come out at. I told him my belly. When i feel the time is right to discuss sex i will. Or when he comes to me asking about SEX. I guess all kids are different and it depends on the enviroment they are raised in and what kind of kids they hang out with?? JMOsockgirl77 said:

So lying to your child and giving them the same sheltered life you had- is better than giving them a life you never had? Just because you have to explain something to a child doesnt mean it has to be graphic or detrimental(sp) to their health. Its in the way the conversation and the details are handled. Im not saying you have to beat around the bush either. Just the graphic details are not needed. (leave that for when they are older)
Children are alot smarter and cohearant than you are making them out to be. Maybe this is just a side of you that is showing from your own sheltered lifestyle. :shrug: Personally... if the child was old enough I would have them out there with me to an extent of what the situation may be. Maybe not a 6 year old.. but a 9-12 year old would fully understand and be able to say "no I want to go to so and so's house while you are out there" or "yes, I would like to show I want to be there". Whatever the cause I may be or what have you- be supporting.
It may not be right in your eyes, but that is why you are not their parent. That is why you are going to be the one to show your child in your life how it is done. Just hopefully you will not lead him to make the same rough decisions you were shown to make. (such as thinking the crosses are decoration. That is just a poor taste answer. )

It is.... who in their right mind can feel that abortion is ok when you have children protesting against it? Come on now... I know you're not all, dumb.sockgirl77 said:yeah, that's really genius

It isn't easy trying to explain it to a child. About two months ago I was in Wal-Mart with my 5 year old and the two chickenheads in front of me were discussing one of them getting one. Right there in the store he wanted to know what is was. THe chix in front apologized for bringing it up around him...but I had to give my best explanation. His response...What about adoption, so someone who really wants a baby can have one? The girls in front looked like they wanted to cry. I didn't need to go into all the details with him, but he knows now. Bottom line is you cannot always avoid what other people, adults or kids say around your child.

Oh and further more- its not "that kind of friends" that will warp your child. "Those kind of friends" are normal children who will repeat everything told to them. Gee.. how relivant a child speaking what they are told. A child going and saying what they know. They are know it all's dont you know! What child do you know that will sit there and not voice that they know about this and that is the end of the story. That is when the time comes to step in and say- "well that is not exactly how it goes" and bring the truth to the situation for a better understanding.
I am really disgusted on how you are chosing your wording. because that right there shows that you are going to pick and choose your childrens friends and its going to be a sad day for your little boy when he doesnt mesh with the people you think he should. And then he is going to grow up depressed and when he hits the age of pure understanding- start to wonder
WHY YOU DID THIS TO HIM!
do you want that? Do you want to be the reason for him to start hating certain types of people just because you think its right? What happened to equal opportunity? It really does apply to alot of things.
Also- just for the record. I went to private school.. and it doesnt make a difference.. you think private school is going to shelter anything. You got a good smack in the face coming then.
