Of course it can happen in private schools...but if you are going to spend your money on a private school, I would assume you would decide on a school that fit your viewpoint on these things.
I worked in college level education for about 10 years. Anybody who doesn't think schools are a mess is just wearing blinders. One needs to choose carefully what one exposes one's children to. And don't think that because they have teaching certificates they know a lot or are any smarter than you are.
GENERAL LAWS OF MASSACHUSETTSCHAPTER 71. PUBLIC SCHOOLS Chapter 71: Section 32A Sex education; policy regarding notice to parents, exception Section 32A. Every city, town, regional school district or vocational school district implementing or maintaining curriculum which primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues shall adopt a policy ensuring parental/guardian notification. Such policy shall afford parents or guardians the flexibility to exempt their children from any portion of said curriculum through written notification to the school principal. No child so exempted shall be penalized by reason of such exemption. Said policy shall be in writing, formally adopted by the school committee as a school district policy and distributed by September first, nineteen hundred and ninety-seven, and each year thereafter to each principal in the district. A copy of each school district's policy must be sent to the department of education after adoption. To the extent practicable, program instruction materials for said curricula shall be made reasonably accessible to parents, guardians, educators, school administrators, and others for inspection and review. The department of education shall promulgate regulations for adjudicatory proceedings to resolve any and all disputes arising under this section. Return to:
