[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former social worker, literally <1% of poor families would send their kids to Sidwell, let alone off to boarding school. It's difficult to comprehend the parental stupidity and neglect. Birth control and welfare reform is the only real way to tackle this. People that shouldn't have babies have the most.[/quote] I work in a low income ES and so many of my former female students come back to visit pregnant by age 16 or so. Most of them want babies. They have no college plans so having a baby at age 15-17 is not a loss in their lives. It's what they are "good for." Their words, not mine. It is a cultural thing too. [/quote]
