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 fail to see how someone being pregnant is so disruptive to anyone's learning process that the pregnant girl would have to removed from the school that they are currently in. Unless you are the father or mother, you aren't directly involved in the pregnancy. In other words, who cares? There are far greater problems with schools in America than, oh man, girls getting pregnant. I think schools putting far more focus on sports than learning to be far more offensive and distraction than all the pregnant women in the world.
Well, maybe not all of them.

Out of curiosity, do the schools in your area offer abstinence-only sex education? It wouldn't surprise me, and it would lead back to the whole bigger problems in the American educational system idea.
