(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Swearing? Kissing? Gee...I'll bet my life that most if not all kids have been exposed to this at home or on tv by the time they are in 4th grade if not long before.

- Rating:
(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - SOCES is a great school, for middle schoolers and high schoolers, but I do not feel like it is appropriate for elementry school students. Fourth and fifth graders should not be exposed to the same things that high schoolers are (namely swearing and seeing older students make-out). I understand other parent's dilemma and the worry about where your child is going to go for high school, but they are just too young for this enviroment.
