The lawsuit isn’t going to do anything. It’s happening. So i’m sure your kids will go to Crown as expected.

Also, just as an aside to highlight a comment up above. It’s kind of a known thing that the lower the socioeconomic level of a school’s attendance-the higher the teen pregnancy rate. And it’s an actual real problem. Sure you have the random super small amount of teenagers getting pregnant at high performing schools but it is much less common. I went to a super poor school and in my junior year, at least 20 girls were pregnant. Typically this is happening because there is little to no parenting/supervision going on. Will this have a negative effect on the other kids at a school? I mean, no but it’s still not a great look for a school.

We aren’t at Wootton. We are at a poorer school and very few are pregnant and if they are who cares. We have a clothing and food pantry. It’s the right thing to do at all schools to support families. The students parents may be the ones pregnant too.

Yeah, who cares! Just let them repeat the cycle of poverty. Fun!

Having a kid young doesn't doom you. My spouse did. If anything, it made them want to work harder and get their education for their kids.

Statistically that is simply not how it goes.

Clearly you don’t know but yes, many do just fine.

I sense a common theme among the Wootton parents trembling with irrational fear that their children will be going to a new school with some “low performing” kids (according to their ES scores!)
They are so frigidly incapable of adapting to change. Such a recipe for failure in life, honestly.
I’m floored that any parent cares about teen pregnancy rates. What is this 1970?! If my daughter suddenly was at school with all pregnant teens I would have ZERO worry she’d end up pregnant. Do people not actually talk to their kids about sex? Do they think their kids are so fragile that the minute they’re exposed to —- OMG a low performing poor person — they will spontaneously combust?

It’s ok if their kids are low performing, just not others.

After a week of having a baby around, that would be enough sex ed for mine.

Anecdotal evidence is just that. The statistics say otherwise.

Having a kid in high school WILL limit your options.

Sure, at the population level that's true. BUT, pregnancy limits your options less if your community invests in ensuring you make it through high school, such as by providing clothing and other supplies. So any support should be celebrated, not mocked.

Moreover, pregnancy is not contagious. One child (high or low performing or in the middle) finding themselves pregnant, and choosing to parent the child, does not impact anyone else in any way.

This comment is the first one I've read on here in a while that makes me think, "wow, I'd actually like to be friends with this person!" So thanks for restoring my faith in the internet and, what appears to be the community I live in.

And, things like child care. The big difference between the schools is that Wootton parents woukd force their kids into abortions regardless of what they want. It has zero impact on others. I gladly donate to our schools clothing closet and food pantry and it’s something our school is proud of.

food pantries and clothing closets are for the community the school serves. That’s not what was mentioned-Many high schools in low performing schools who have high teenage pregnancy rates (these 2 go hand in hand) have separate donations they ask for specifically for pregnant students-separate from the food pantry and clothing closet. Also, condoms are free at any OGYN/gynecologist office(as well as i’m sure many other places) Mine actually has them sitting out but you can also always ask and they will give you a ton. There is no excuse.

What are we even talking about? The teen pregnancy rate is vanishingly small everywhere. My kids are at Einstein and have never even heard of a pregnant high schooler there.

There are everywhere but most end up doing other programs to graduate.

Yes there is an alternative school they can go to or they sometimes get the option to finish at home.
