If you're bemoaning the fact that you can't discuss your "love life" openly in front of a classroom of five-year-olds, then you're part of the problem. Five-year-olds don't need to be taught about sex. They need to be taught how to spell "cat" and "dog" and that those animals say "meow" and "woof." Stop sexualizing small children. They already face enough challenges to growing up saying without that.
This is just one more good reason to pull kids from public schools and homeschool them …

"Clueless Teacher Proves Ron Desantis Right, Complains He Can't Talk About Love Life To Kindergarten Class"
Brodigan • March 30, 2022

Excerpt:
There is far too much ignorance about the Florida bill, and many activists [are] exploiting that ignorance. Mayhaps Bernaert is a victim of that and didn't do his homework. Had he done the assignment, he would realize that everything he said validates why a "Parental Rights in Education" bill is both necessary and popular with parents.

Teachers should have a professional relationship with their students. In the seventies they started wanting to be their "friend" and the SAT average has been dropping ever since. Teachers are learning more how to be psychoanalysts at school than how to teach. They want to be able to control a classroom But it ain't workin' out for them.

In 1940 teachers disciplinary concerns were: talking out of turn, chewing gum in class, running in the halls, cutting in line, making noise, littering and dress code violations. In 1990 the top disciplinary concerns were: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide, rape, robbery, assault. Taken from:

You're suggesting teachers should teach? What sort of evil madman are you? 😮

Correct me if I'm wrong, but kids in those age groups do not ever think who their teacher is married to or involved with. The only concern children have is whether they get along with their teacher and can learn what they need to to proceed to the next grade. All my school years I never once even thought about teachers' private lives. Not once.

Further, what adult feels the need to share his or her personal life with children. Do they have no adult friends? This whole "share" concept is ludicrous or, in the alternative, pointing to some psychological shortfall of the adult teacher. Heck, we don't even discuss our relationships on an intimately personal level with our own children. They don't want to know, nor do they need to know.

I am not being politically correct, however, a class full of children have numerous family structures. Zero judgement should be provided. A simple acknowledgement is all that is necessary. Some kids grow up with grandparents as parents, some with single mothers, some with the classic two parents, andsome with two double parent homes. The proper place of the teacher is to honor but not discuss in detail things children have no control over. A home is a home no matter who its is comprised of.

I agree. As far as I can recollect, my teachers didn't even exist except in the classroom. When I was at school, I didn't think about what they did when they weren't at school — I thought about what I was going to do when I got home. And, when I got home, my thoughts were about playing in my new sandbox, riding my bike, or watching Gilligan's Island. I didn't wonder what my teachers were doing away from school or how they were maintaining their love lives … It's ridiculous that teachers now want to force all of this on children who should be allowed to grow up at their own individual pace. Yet, they are doing extraordinary mental gymnastics & contorting logic to justify their own "need" to overload children with their own emotional baggage.

@Wordmage unhappy people engaging with children instead of other adults. There is a deficit of personality and morality here. Are they that lonely? that in need of approval or support for their choices?
