Health education at Chandler Woods

This definitely should be allowed. As a parent, I’d prefer the school to teach it.

I talk with my children about a huge variety of health topics at home, but hearing the same topics at school will reinforce what they learn at home. I am disappointed and surprised that this is not already included in their curriculum.

It is important for students to be aware of healthy behaviors.

I support Physical Education class!

ALL children have a right to learn about body safety and health from an unbiased, educated adult who's ultimate goal is to EMPOWER our youth so they understand their body, their mental health, their physical health and their rights.

So many thing applicable to each age group. This isn’t just about teaching sex ed, it’s about protecting our kids and helping them to make good decisions and knowing when and who to ask for help. Starting kids with the talk of safe touch is sadly so important to too many young children. Also suicide conversation and knowing who you can talk to is extremely important to many kids as well. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for these topics to be taught considering it’s a funded program to the school, let’s keep our kids safe.

I have always wondered why CW didn't offer health education. And I was deeply disappointed when my child was in 5th grade and the one male who was certified to teach the HIV material left, so the students never received the information and it was never brought up again. I think it's incredibly important for students to learn about their bodies, health, fitness, peer pressure...all those things that tie into health education. This has been my one big grievance with CW.

So important, I was informed this year that my 6th grader learned what he believes is health education from the middle school boys bathroom. Although entertaining and probably incredibly artistic, not educational.

Full support for health education!

I think this is a good idea!

I am in full support. Being sheltered from these types of topics can have a life long impact on our children’s health and even their safety. This needs to be addressed.

Come on CW, health Ed is mandatory! You've been receiving state funds for it, teach it!! Our middle school students need additional education, those under Erin's Law, which is mandatory too. Let's do better for our students.

It's very important that our children learn about their health and their bodies. Health class is so much more encompassing than just anatomy it's important that our children learn about healthy habits like food and exercise, they also need to learn about good mental health and self care and the dangers of tobacco, drugs, alcohol and vaping. Public schools are teaching these important lessons and our children are getting left behind. This is the one area of education I am very disappointed in at Chandler Woods.

It is extremely important for our kids to know how their bodies work. It is also necessary for children to begin these conversations early, in a judgment free environment to understand that everyone has the same issues and there is nothing to fear during their development.

This would be a great addition to our school and very important aspect of life for our children to learn. I fully support this being added to the current curriculum.
