-I do not think the girl (who performed oral sex ) or the boy (the recipient) should be suspended. I believe that instead, they should required to attend some type of sex education/counseling with their parents, especially the young lady. Sorry but sitting at home for 10 days accomplished nothing....if anything it opens up a door of opportunity for more while the 'rents are at work.

-On one hand, I do think the school is trying to handle this situation by offerring the "Night With The Expert" syposium. This should be a wake-up to the school that maybe their science/sex education programs needs to be revamped - maybe include some type of round table discussion groups where kids are able to speak honestly and frankly about sexual behavior.

On the hand, the school's decisions are busted by pushing the blame on the teacher.

While I do not believe this event to be of the same magnitude as Sept. 11th ( ), I do think that it can serve as a wake-up call to parents - kids are being exposed to sex and sexual topics at earlier ages.

HBO Family has a documentary call "Middle School Confessions" that is currently being aired that features junior high age kids (12-14 age range). On one episode, the girls were bragging about performing oral sex, saying that it is ok to do because it's not like having sex....WTF

Oh, and these were your everyday, suburban girls.

Good points. You're right unless there is counseling, the act will be repeated again by the little girl. So suspension is just a temporary fix. We need something long lasting. Sex Ed needs to return to the classes. We had it and the parents were called in and stuff was shared with them as well. You would be surprised at how ignorant some of our parents are about sex.

Too often, blame is placed on the teacher and stuff like this is what makes GOOD TEACHERS leave the classroom. This teacher, AGAIN, is not at fault.

I will have to subscribe to HBO to check that out. There was an ep of Strong Medicine once that had a middle school with an oral sex ring.

Folks, it is happening far more frequently than you think. And it is a lot of what society considers to be the "good kids" who are involved. We need to talk to our kids about sex, ALL OF IT. The more we try to avoid it, the more likely they are to go after it.


What is interesting is there are a lot of people who have the mindset that until they have intercourse, then they are still virgins. There are even folks who think that as long as they are only having anal sex, then they are still virgins.
