School should be, by definition, academic in origin. The school systems here fail, the public education system is in shambles (especially in larger urban areas) and more and more topics/activities continue to be added, including after school care. Educators are not parents, babysitters, moral police, ethics instructors, etc.
i don't believe schools are just there to teach academic subjects, i think that's what college or university is for. schools are where our kids learn to interact with each other, they learn how how to play and how not have sex without a condom. i think in the early years we learn a lot more than academics from school and rightly so. early on teachers are substitute parents and as such should give kids who are gender confused or outright gay the same attention as hetero kids. jmo
