No it doesn't. Third graders are 8-9.
The idea of third graders learning about sex and puberty is very strange. We (public school) had health class in 8th and 9th grade where we learned about puberty, sex, and similar topics.
Additionally, it's odd to me that you include mention of "asking teachers questions privately". Why don't 8-9 year olds ask their parents privately? The assumption is that the parents are the enemy. That's exactly what led to this bill.
- samarama 5y agoPuberty starts at 8 for many children already and for most at 11.

- slibhb 5y agoThose are extreme lower bounds. I had a friend who started puberty at 9 but it's very, very rare. You wrote: > puberty generally starts in 2nd-3rd grade That's wrong. Replace "generally" with "very, very rarely" and it's right. > Idk, I'd definitely be forced to talk to a teacher if you were my parent Why? Why wouldn't you be able to talk to a parent about going through puberty at 8 years old? Any parent is going to notice. Why is it better to talk to a virtual stranger?
