[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love an explanation on how a school with daily fights and kids shooting each other is not, in fact, ghetto.[/quote]

Don't forget the in-school daycare. [/quote]

In-school daycares allow teen moms to complete their education. Don't even try to knock that. It puts the blame squarely on the female for "getting" pregnant. Not everyone has access to birth control and we know there are many social and structural factors that contribute to teen pregnancy.[/quote]

agreed, no teen girl is having a baby while in high school because her high school has a daycare.  But having that daycare keeps the mother in school and hopefully more likely to graduate.  I am 100% for it, although it does make me sad they are needed.[/quote]

if girls are going to have babies in high school let's at least make sure they get at a very minimum a high school diploma.

And for those who don't agree, keep in mind babies grow, they become kids who enter school,  and yes, you want a mom who finishes high school who can read to their child and help them with basic homework.  So yes, help them finish high school and help them get as far as they can in their education so that they can actually help their child get an education. [/quote]

Daycare needs to be a separate function and budget, managed and financed by HHS (or state and local equivalent), not local school resources. Their job is to teach, not get bogged down in things ancillary to their core mission. Furthermore this same competing priorities can be seen with Headstart, which is food with some highly variable preschool instruction (an after thought; the feeding part is successful). Or why teachers are mostly opposed to school breakfast during instruction (needs to be before school start…which itself should be later but the unions oppose). Teachers can either teach or feed children. Not both. Schools can either be social services or a school. Not both. If they happen to be at the same area, that’s fine, but “the school” must have primacy.[/quote]

My son is at HS to learn math, english, composition, history, etc., not to sit quietly and wait while staff change diapers.

The situation is beyond repair if you have a problem with that.[/quote]
The daycare is in the classroom where your son has classes?[/quote]

The daycare is in the building where my son attends school. That space requires staff. Is that hard to comprehend?[/quote]
