Pregnant adolescents in school Options

[jesusisthebestth...]

i was listening on to the radio the other day and there were some women who called in complaining because they were kicked out of junior high/high school when they started "showing" i think it's totally fair, i don't want to see some pregnant girl beside me in AP biology. but that's just me...

do you think that pregnant teens should be forced to leave school when they begin to show?

I was reading a book the other day and there was a story about all these kids and parents complaining because they were kicked out of school because they were black, I think it's totally fair, I don't want to see n****rs beside me in my white classes, but that's just America.

Get the point?

no i don't see the point because you can't help being african american, you can help getting pregnant. i think having pregnant teens in school condones teenage pregnancy. of course you shouldn't be ostracized for getting pregnant at a young age, but so many young girls act like it's "cute" to be pregnant, especially where i live. i think they should have to go to alternative schools so they can see how greatly their lives have changed.

that's true but sexual desire is within everyone. And yes people make mistakes. And since when did public American education make important rules just to satisfy your eyes? And what about a pregnant woman is disgusting? Her belly? It's huge and it just meant that she had sex? so? It's her business and I don't understand why corpulence in the stomach repulses you so much. I think it's better than seeing an obese bitch rolling down the school hallways but you don't see me running down the school board telling them to kick them out just to please my virgin eyes!

As for the teacher thing, they need money. And being a teacher they don't have enough of it! Honestly I never give a shit if a teacher is bitchy for whatever reason. I would be too if I'm teaching apathetic students who take their education for granted.

teachers make a reasonable amount of money annually. the days when teachers are underpaid have long gone.

You got to be kidding me. Maybe in your school or neighborhood. Teachers in well off neighborhoods are extremely well paid because the parents of the kids help fund the salaries, therefore, better paid teachers equal better education for their kids.

Everywhere else, especially in public schools, teachers aren't make that much money. Sure they get a ton of holidays, but they don't make that much money. That is why in many urban areas, the public school system is understaffed. Teachers get paid very little and that's no incentive to become one.

And yes, there is some bigotry to your argument. If those girls (cause what kinda teenage has unprotected sex?) had closed their legs, they wouldn't be in this situation. So never mind the fact that they are taking responsibility by carrying the baby to term , and never mind the fact they're still trying to stay in school; just kick them out because they are a "distraction".

You are advocate alternative schools for pregnant teens. Can you guarantee that their education will be on the same level? If the education is just the same, then maybe it's fine. But even if it was on the same level, then there is no point in switching them because they get the same education.

It just sounds like to me that you want pregnant girls out of schools because it's a "distraction" and it's not right. There's no valid reasoning to kicking out when they serve no harm to other students or themselves.

And the girls were kicked out because they were pregnant. No other reason. They were kicked out because they were pregnant, which isn't a very valid reason.
