School For Teen Moms

Definitely a better set up, since they all are going through a similar life changing experience.

In my experience as a classroom instructor and then counselor in the public school system, it can be very rough on the teacher, particularly if one has a more traditional approach to pregnancy. Invariably, one will have adjust one’s views and opinions, and almost cheering for the would be soon to be mothers.

The typical set up for others who don’t have access to this one school in Texas, is continuing to attend high school, assuming the pregnancy is not at an elementary or middle school age (both of which I have experience with). 

So, ordinarily expecting teen moms stay in their classroom, from the beginning of the pregnancy, leaving the teacher to feel responsible to manage the morning sickness and other symptoms of the condition, it can be very challenging lot to add to teaching duties that can be overwhelming in themselves.

In the late stages of the pregnancy is when they stay home and continue to receive the material covered in class that is to be relayed by a homeschool teacher, as that instructor would be informed on a weekly basis by the school teacher.

Another advantage of a dedicated school is tailored information that includes their types of unique challenges, such as encouragement to attend college. Otherwise, many or most end up abandoning their education in order to provide for their child, (or children since they can become again pregnant) as they may not have sufficient support and encouragement.
