I'll let everyone know how it goes.JAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099237569694448189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713999713707998069.post-69728182961790166972010-05-12T16:19:40.972-04:002010-05-12T16:19:40.972-04:00For some reason, when I read this post, the words ...For some reason, when I read this post, the words of Billy Joel's song, "Only the Good Die Young" came to mind:<br /><br />Come out Virginia, don't let me wait<br />You Catholic girls start much too late<br />But sooner or later it comes down to fate<br />I might as well be the one<br /><br />I'm sure that what they are going to try to teach the kids will be good, but it seems like calling it "Chastity Class" sets things off on the wrong foot which will make parents and kids have reservations.<br /><br />I think Mom To The Power of Three nails it however. Kids, not just girls, at that age need to learn self-esteem. Unfortunately, our society sends the wrong message about self-esteem. Kids are told they have to be thin, have the right body shape and be dating to have self-esteem. Helping kids feel good about themselves and appreciate and respect their own bodies without having get involved in things they shouldn't seems to me to be a better way of teaching chastity, as well is discouraging drug or alcohol abuse, and many other dangerous youth activities.<br /><br />My two cents.aldon @ orient lodgehttp://www.orient-lodge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713999713707998069.post-6282195895075480232010-05-12T09:01:41.414-04:002010-05-12T09:01:41.414-04:00It's good that the school has this program.

It's not really sex education because nuns are not for contraception and all that, but the teached did try to talk about understanding your body.Verahttp://verabear.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713999713707998069.post-28017201907040257612010-05-12T08:09:01.414-04:002010-05-12T08:09:01.414-04:00Sounds like a class all schools need to teach.

It just seems so old-fashioned. I think girls at this age need to develop self-esteem and feel beautiful for who they are.Mom To The Power Of Threehttp://www.momtothepowerofthree.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713999713707998069.post-34795762333795527932010-05-11T18:34:03.025-04:002010-05-11T18:34:03.025-04:00It's such great news to hear and learn about t...It's such great news to hear and learn about this especially in this today's twisted society where sex is always promoted even to children. I hope there will be "informed" educators such as them who are not only teaching the abstinence of sex in kids, but also imparting the meaning of such knowledge and why it really matters. Sex is great but I believe that sex should always be confined in the realm of marriage.bingkeehttp://www.ilovehateamerica.comnoreply@blogger.com
