Or did you go into explicit detail about a drunken night and a lack of foresight regarding birth control (just saying that for comic effect I'm not implying your daughter was an accident)
Trust me, neither your daughter or her teachers will have any problem reconciling this when she gets old enough for bio class (unless you live in Kentucky).

It is not that I think this was over their heads and the teacher took the easy way out, it is that if you are in school you should get the correct answers. I mean she had a handout that said this so it is not something that was just said in passing to shut her up.
If a school does not want to teach why hair and eyes are a specific color then they should leave it alone until they are ready to teach the proper answers, that is what got me. Why not just waste the whole year teaching stuff that is wrong if they are just going to learn the proper way in a few years?
