I believe it should be policy to actually make contact with parents when their child is late or absent.

And sad to say, you're right about many parents.
Well, they have to FIND the parent first to be able to call them.

Clearly, no one has suggested abstinence to them. If only someone would mention it...

Re: 90 Girls Pregnant At Memphis High School

This is incredibly sad. I believe that churches may be the last hope for these areas. I pray that we are ready and able....

Re: 90 Girls Pregnant At Memphis High School

The really sad part is that some of them may have made a pact to get pregnant on purpose. I don't think it mentioned in the article how many students they have.

Re: 90 Girls Pregnant At Memphis High School

What would... um, did I do?? School calls home and leaves a message. Mom is at work. I erased the message and took a note to school with mom's "signature" stating that I was ill the day before *cough cough*. Wasn't difficult to get the signature, I learned it in the second grade. First few notes from "mom" were accepted. What ya do is crumple the note a bit. Creases in the paper distract the eye from the print. Ran into a small problem when the school began to require notes from the doc's office. But, that was nothing that a printer and some ink couldn't fix. Renda's posts portray the real world. Some kids live with grandparents. Some live in single parent homes. Mama workin 2 jobs to afford some grits. If the parent doesn't work, he/she is probably turning trix to get a fix. This is the REAL world, Aquila. Children are raisng themselves. Many look to gangs. Some will sell drugs to make fast money. Fore some people sex is a release from the real world, even if it's shortly lived. Babies having babies...

Not sure if this was sarcasm or not, but abstinence does work very well.

Of course it's not enough to mention it though, or even teach a class on it. It must be received and practiced by the students, their parents and the peer groups they are intimate with.

LOL!

I am curious about the fathers of these 90 children. They should be working a job after school for child support.

Before long some of these girls will have at least 4 or 5 kids, all by different guys, and when all the child support and child tax credits are combined, they will be living pretty large.

OK, at least that is how it worked in Wisconsin where most guys PAID child support.
