Yeah, they are the exception but that's completely irrelevant. The point is that this would be punishing the minority of teen mothers who do go on to productive academic lives for no good reason.
All I'm sayimg is that statistically speaking the con out weighs the positive, how many of the mothers at the Chicago hs are going to be reliant an complete government assistance, despite the potential for a few of the kids go on be something great themselves, come on dawg, out of 115 pregnant teens, i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too far fetched to deduct that the overwhelming majority of the kids will grow up in poverty / broken homes....
Too many teen women are getting pregnant, that's the problem. What is shaming them by banishing them to different schools supposed to do? What, are we just going to put all the pregnant bytches in one school and put a day care in there?
I'm not against teens having sex. I was getting it an at early age too, and I never caught any STD's or had pregnant scares
With that said, my school had a zero tolerance against pregnancy. During grades 9-11, I used see a plethora of pregnant chicks walking around, at least 5-6 visible chicks.
Come senior year, the school cleaned house. Literally during first two weeks, of my senior year they transferred all the gangbangers and pregnant chicks.
I had the smoothest year ever, I don't even recall any fights or shootings. The year prior, the school was constantly on lockdown, from shootings. It may have just been my school, but they did this to protect their image because they had acquired some huge tv contracts.....
Ironically, they were filming a show at my school, about teenager who becomes pregnant.....
ABC Family - The Secret Life of the American Teenager - Official TV Show Site
Yet they were sohh, anti-pregnancy themselves.....
Better sex education would be helpful, but from what I remember health class in hs discussed how to avoid diseases, condom usage and what not, but nobody paid attention, plus it was the last period of the day, and the teacher was the softest queer (literally) ever, no one respected that cat...............At the end of day i think you can prevent teens from getting pregnant by showing them a direct consequence for their actions.....
