Family Life Activity Cut From Classes

Administrators at Stephen Decatur Middle School put a swift stop to a Family Life and Human Development class lesson that involved modeling the human reproductive system last week.

Around 180 seventh grade girls carried out the activity in two classes before it was cut from the program.

“We agree that there are more appropriate ways to teach students about reproductive anatomy and health,” Stephen Decatur Middle School Principal Lynne Barton said in a statement. “Although the intentions of the activity were centered on student learning, we want our parents and community to know that the modeling activity will be excluded from all future lessons on reproductive systems.”

Now they can just look it up on google or have their friends sext pics to them.

Get a clue 12:47.-like they are not going to be looking on google anyway. The lesson was stupid. What do you think, the students created accurate depictions? The reason US students are so stupid is because of goofy people like you. If you are going to teach something use accurate models or pictures from textbooks.

So all because of this exercise 12:47, the students are going to stop looking at pictures on Google and they friends won't send them any either? You are off in LaLa Land. Geez are the children in this country ever in trouble with this kind of thinking.
