[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]00:36 - that's actually a really nice thing that they are doing, allowing girls who have had babies to stay in school.  It makes it so much more likely that they will finish high school and go on to college or be more marketable employees.

in my day, girls who got pregnant got shipped off to an alternative school, the one where the delinquents went.  Meanwhile, the guys who got them pregnant got to stay at regular school with us.[/quote]

I agree, but that is not the culture at Wilson.[/quote]

Do they just drop out?[/quote]

From the Wilson web site:
