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'm not sure if this happens in any other schools, but it happens all throughout the state of maryland. it's not "personal opinion" here, it is actually school legislation that pregnant teens are put into alternative schools with other pregnant teenagers

i believe that it can be a distraction to other students in the class, which i think is why they're taken out of school anyway.

a lot of students' faces are distracting. i think ugly people shouldn't be allowed in school either.

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.

i think allowing kids to wear red or blue promotes gang violence. and allowing them to wear all black? now that's just depressing. and how 'bout these fckers who speak in "ghetto slang"? they shouldn't even be allowed in the building! i mean, who the hell can understand them anyway? too much of that darn snoop dogg, if you ask me.

well, what if her water bursts in school? it's not like school nurses are trained to handle that sort of thing? or what if she has a birth "scare" where she thinks she's having contractions but she really isn't?

yah, school nurses are idiots. i mean, they wouldn't even know how to pick up a phone and call an ambulence -_-". wow, they're incredibly useless.

the school doesnt have time for this, handling these issues would require that the teacher take at least some class time to tend to that student's needs.

the school doesn't have time for dumbasses who can't grasp extremely simple math problems either. forget going over homework or reviewing tests. there's no time for that bullshit. man, anyone who isn't asian should just be homeschooled!

aint that a bitch? that happened to me in english class, i effin hated my english teacher...she was terrible once she got pregnant. she was short tempered, graded differently, took forever to return assignments and missed so many days! that's what i'm talking about...send the pregnant people home, dammit!! lol

yes, and have all female teachers take a week off every month, 'cause none of us wanna deal with the pms. and every bitch with an attitude should just be expelled.

removing pregnant teens is completely different from racial segregation. like i said, you can PREVENT pregnancy, but you cannot prevent ethnicity, race, or skin color.

one can prevent acting like a bitch, too. or being impolite. or being an annoying loudass. or being "ghetto" or "punk" or "emo" or "goth". yet these fckers are still allowed an education.

honestly, i can think of hundreds of assholes who i don't wanna see in school. pregnant girls would probably be one of the last on my list.
