How can education influence a young pregnat woman’s socio-
economic status?
1. The article “Special
Schools for Pregnant Girls“ by Ben Arnoldy is about pregnant teens in different
situations and different locations here in the United States.
For example a pregnant
girl in Idaho who is now scared to go to school anymore, because she thinks
that students are going to bully her.
She even thinks that teachers are not going to support her, when she
needs to go more often to the bathroom more. If she doesn’t wants to go to
school and more because of this it definitely is going to influence her school
education. So this article tells about schools that offer day care and a
baby-supply store. Nurses support the girls with back problems. After school
they are going to learn about business, parenting and family law, so that they
can get ready for the future without the school support. In conclusion the
article explains why “Separate schools for pregnant teens“ are different from
alternative school and that studies showed over years that educational
equality, budget problems and social friendships can improve education and the
quote of graduation becomes higher. And when they reach this goal, the social
economic status is higher.
2. It is worthwhile for me
because I can get specific informations form young teens in High School and their
worries and feelings about it. In
addition I never knew that special school for pregnant teens even exist. It
also shows me that they help them to get good grades and even finish their High
School.
3. Quote 1: "We have the time to pay attention to things like this.
If these things are not paid attention to, what we see is students falling
through the net and not finishing," says Ms. Hedden-Nicely.
Quote 2: Boise, Idaho--Soon after getting pregnant, high school sophomore Alicia
Mattocks worried that bullies might purposely slam her into a locker and that a
teacher's rules wouldn't allow frequent bathroom runs.
I think this is a good example to show that students are scared to go to
school when they are pregnant.
