Just say no in Kindergarten?

A few thoughts:

A good school and a good teacher will let you know what topics are going to be covered on a week by week basis. If this was a school mandated program you should have been given a heads up.

Talk to the teacher and the principal. Find out the whole story. You need more information. Was this intentional? Was it school sponsored?Plus they need to know how this came across. If your child got that idea, you can bet that other kids in the class did too.

Home schooling is a big effort. If you can solve the problem through better communication with your child's teacher and school, you have saved yourself a lot of work.

In any case, you should be having ongoing conversations with your child's teacher. You cannot assume that your child will get a good education unless you are willing to be active and involved.

One more thing. I notice that you're in Utah. It may be possible that the teacher's personal opinions are coming out in his/her lessons. Make sure they understand that this is not acceptable to you.

Entirely possible. She is originally from Honduras, She is all business. I do like her because she has control of her classroom. Which is hard when you have about 25 kindergartners. I think I will talk to her personally and see where the drug lecture came from exactly.

I think it is probably time we just grew up and gave up the habit anyway. It just irks me. We are afforded all the sex, violence and hate we can stomach on TV. But smoke a Jay and you are satan and going to hell, oh and by the way, we are taking your kids away from you.

I have contacted the school district. I am going to get to the bottom of the situation and also see if I can find a better school for her to attend next year. You should see the UPASS scores of the schools in my district. It is so disconcerting. The average number of school children absent 10 or more days at the school Nanu (nickname) is attending is 48 percent. The rest of the district isn't much better. I didn't feel poor until now.
