[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this has been mentioned but a few of the students I have taught have been basically responsible for caring for their younger siblings while they are young teens. In the words of my 18-year-old student: "Caring for babies is all I knew since I took care of my baby sister while my mom worked. So I had my own baby." Another student said he doesn't want kids of his own because at age 19, he is the primary caregiver for two younger cousins who live with him and his single mom while he juggles work and part-time school. I'm learning that my students' lives are much more complex than mine so I try not to judge them for their choices. [/quote]
