ITT: Helicopter Parents

I'm pretty easy going if people keep their nose out of my business.

Imagine you're out at the local Starbucks with your kids (why the fuck I would go to Starbucks for their burnt coffee is beyond me) but lets say you're there, and the snooty asshole at the next table leans over and starts preaching to your kids how they should be vegans, or that there's no santa, etc. That's what this is like.

and what kind of schools were you guys going too when girls were giving bj's before grade 8? in my school at the worse we were playing spin the bottle but that's it

au contraire mom frere, i don't give two shits about speeders. in fact, anyone should have the freedom to do whatever they want, so long as it doesn't encroach on other people's freedoms. so by all means, go teach your 8 year olds about same-sex marriage, go show them how to masturbate, but just do it in your own home.

if taking an active role in my kids' lives makes me a helicopter parent, that's fine; i just call it parenting. accuse me of censoring. i simply don't care. i'm not raising my kids for you. i'm raising them for me. kids need censoring. they don't need goatse, or beheadings, or twerking.

and of course they'll be exposed to stuff from other kids at school. i accept that. but i also choose a school and a neighbourhood that most closely aligns with my personal values to limit exposure in both content and frequency. i still have to explain why some older kids cuss for no reason or why miley cyrus was swinging naked from a wrecking ball.

being devil's advocate here (as I am on the fence on the whole issue pending more information on roll out) I think you are imagining the worst possible delivery/education of these topics, just saying. All hell won't break loose...

So in that case you censor every tv show they watch, log each and every website they go on, who they hang out with and when.

Your being daft if you think you're doing the child any favours as if the world is going to wait before they hit your children with reality.

There'll be a child in your kids class that doesn't eat meat that will bring the topic up before a stranger, they'll be a grade 8 in recess running around telling kids santa isn't real before some random stranger. etc

The reason kids ignore what other say is because they choose to believe what they want & if they're unsure they ask their parents. But realistically with the hours most people work, good teachers spend more time with the kids than most parents.

There's way to approach the subject and there are assholes.

Telling kids how babies are made and what the risks are, are very different that saying that two men fuck each other in the ass for pleasure.


I got taught sex-ed in grade 5 and I feel it was too late. Grade 9 (high-school) would have been way too late.

The problem with your view is you're using your own beliefs to judge what should be applied to the new generation as if you actually had to come into contact with Lesbian & Gay parents at such a young age. The world is different since you went to school.


Old people never put their own insecurities/beliefs aside to think of what is actually happening in the world now. No where in the curriculum is it saying that homosexuality is "normal". What they are saying is that they're people that naturally swing that way and it's ok.

Vas has it exactly right about Bible belt. Right now you sound like the parents that's used to say masterbation is the devils work & that there's something wrong with the child.

Put your feelings aside about how you feel about "carpet munchers" & see that there is nothing wrong with children knowing that people sometimes prefer the same sex.

Nope, thats exactly what the new curriculum is saying, its normal

Sure kids can know that it occurs, but to push the social engineering aspect of it that its normal, is pure BS.

I don't have an issue with learning about masturbation, its when its being taught and by who. That is my issue. You are going to teach kids about anal sex? Tell me if that isn't some gay agenda shit right there. Teach kids about reproduction, the risks, not the mechanisms FFS.

BTW, the middle school where the bj's were going down (just checked ranking to satisfy Canuck) was 994/1120

Thats anabysmally poor ranking.

My buddy attended the same school, now he's a diplomat in Brussels doing negotiations at the WTO for Caribbean countries.

Read your link again. It doesn't say "normal", it actually clearly says "some".


No one's teaching kids how to masterbate

tell me exactly what is so outrageous about this program based on the very limited info that we do have

Is he a homosexual doe?

Nope, he bangs as many sluts as he can get, but his brother is a homo (my close friend since childhood)

Nice backpedal bro.

Hey I am not racist because my close friend is chinese!!11one!!!
