I am horrified by this. My daughter turns 6 Thursday and this is very scary. OMG this makes me want to cry.:( I'll have to talk to her about the birds and bees a LOT earlier than I'd planned to.

Did the school have a "Under New Management" sign out front? Is it a school or an apartment complex? What kind of mess is that?

Aren't the Philly Schools run by a private company now because they were in such bad shape? Hence the "new management"...with management like that...maybe they need the "old" management back! |
Authorities: Fifth-graders posted lookout, had sex in class
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- Five fifth-grade students face criminal charges after authorities said four of them had sex in front of other students in an unsupervised classroom and kept a classmate posted as a lookout for teachers. The students were arrested Tuesday at the Spearsville school in rural north Louisiana, authorities said. Two 11-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year old boy were charged with obscenity, a felony. An 11-year-old boy, the alleged lookout, was charged with being an accessory. "After 44 years of doing this work, nothing shocks me anymore," said Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley. "But this comes pretty close." :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :( |

and yeah, i remember in 8th grade some of my classmates trashed a classroom and since i didnt wanna do it, they told me to play lookout. well, of course we get caught and letters get sent home. and i get my @ss beat not because of the act, but because i had to take the rap for being a lame @ss lookout. "if you gon be about it then be about it," ma would say. and yeah, this is gross... but if they weren't doing it in the classroom, theyd be in someone's garage, backyard, bedroom, under the bleachers... p.s. i didnt know "obscenity" was a felony... is that a Louisana thing? and isnt 12/13 years old a little grown to be in 5th grade? ETA: ok, it took a full day for the sherriffs to find out about this? WTF? and what teacher leaves a class unattended to go to a school assembly? |

Sadly I am not shocked by this. In 4th grade I spent a year away from the good school I was used to in a poor school where kids were generally neglected talked down to. In the first month I was made fun of for being a virgin (I didn't even know what a virgin was). Later in the year my friend's 5th grade brother and his friend chased me home from the park saying (with laughter) that they were going to rape me. In that neighborhood boys were considered men at about 12 and expected to fend for themselves. That way of growing up too fast throws their sexuality off. And IMO the media is not helping.

I'm really trying to understand what was the purpose of arresting any of the children? All of them are equally underage and there is no indication that any half of the party was coerced or forced.
Some type of mandatory counseling - YES. Being lookout should mean you get your tail waxed with a good old fashioned belt from Big Mamma - not be tagged as an accessory with an juvie record. Going so far as to arrest all of them serves NO purpose except to shut the barn door after the horse has already left. The teacher that was suppossed to be watching the class should be dusting off her resume. |

I'm not trying to make light of this - I just don't want these kids labeled as juvies and thus no expectations are held for them. Middle school is where many kids "drop out". Arresting them is just reactionary and over the top to me and does nothing to explain to the children or their classmates why they shouldn't have done what they did. The "just say no" approach didn't work when I was a kid and it clearly isn't working for this next over exposed generation. |

good looking out AF ;) i suppose who is responsible for leaving said kids unattended is secondary... Quote:

I remember when the rumors of this 'game' came out. I was still in early high school, and everyone laughed at the idea. They were fashion accessories, nothing more. We didn't need bracelets to show if we were willing to do things. I remember a lot of kind being insulted that adults took such a rumor seriously. I also remember girls saying how ticked they'd be if someone broke their bracelets and thought they'd get anything other than a smack to the face for it. |

It's not just the media. Everywhere kids turn now, they are enticed by sex. |
Naive Teacher
:confused:Is it me? At 10,11, or 12 I didn't even know about oral sex much least would have done it. What kind of home life does this child have to even know about oral sex? Its clear that she is not watching the cartoon network.

what about the fact that you have 5th graders who are this old? :confused: Therein lies the problem!
I was telling someone the other day that about how freaky my 7th graders are--they party like rock stars. And they were like "7th grade!!" But I had to tell them that I have 14, 15, 16 year old 7th graders. They're the same age as juniors in high school and how many juniors did you know having sex? EXACTLY!! |

I don't think them being exposed to more things can be the only explanation. Heck I was exposed to a lot of stuff way before I became interested in sex. Is it the hormones in milk or something?
