should high school mothers be given special privileges?

Question

such as excused tardies, or using the bathroom whenever they want?

im completely biased on the subject, just wondering what others thought.

by tardy, i mean being late for school

mil414 , im not pregnant and i graduated last year. this question isnt about me, i was just asking a question.

Answer 1

Pregnancy carries certain medical necessities. Changes in the woman's body make bathroom trips more frequent. Tardies may be based upon pregnancy related illness. Children can become ill. A mother has to care for her children. As a mother, her education becomes less important. If you don't like her taking care of her responsibilities, then be satisfied with her failure in school. She attends or fails. Children don't change this.

As a father and husband I can tell you that work, school and many other things will be neglected as required to take care of my wife and child. You do what you have to do. There are other jobs and schools. You only have the one child or spouse. Consider what is replaceable. An education can be achieved later.

Answer 2

No as far as being tardy goes, they like everyone else should and must get there on time and be ready to work. If they have morning sickness or something to bad, well then they need to stay home or drop out and try to come back and finish up school after the child is born. If they get there and do the work but should need to use the bathroom more often I would let them use the rest room more often. The fact is that woman who are pregnant do use the bathroom breaks more often and I do not recommend them having to hold it in. I do think that they should have so many minutes to use the bathroom. I mean you can't allow them to take three 10 minute breaks only to miss 30 minutes of the class. If they need to go, then go but do not allow then to be gone for more than like 5 minutes at a time. If the girl has a child at home no, she should be allowed no more special privileges than say a woman who is working. If she has to take the kid to a doctors appointment then that is OK or if the child is very sick and she has a doctors excuse saying that she needed to stay home with her child then OK. Other than that, to bad get a baby sitter or someone who can take care of them and go to school so you can get a job and raise the child you helped to produce. That’s how I feel on it.

Answer 3

Within reason. Even though a girl might be pregnant in high school it doesn't mean she'll always follow all the rules. She should still need permission so the teacher knows why she is leaving and if she is underage, she still needs an excuse from her mother for her tardiness, even if it is due to her child making her late. As adults, we still have to report to work on time even if we have children and I can't leave in the middle of an important meeting whenever I want.

Answer 4

Going to the bathroom isn't a privilege. When you have to go you have to go. When you are pregnant the baby is constantly on the bladder at a certain point in pregnancy. Would you rather she pee right where she sits? Don't kids in school that have problems, and have to take medication, or have disabilities have more excuses then the next person. You have a child growing inside of you that needs special attention. Since you have never been pregnant you don't know what comes with the job. Mind your business, and just go on with your own education. I'm pretty sure you won't fail out of school because you can't go pee more the then pregnant mother.

Answer 5

Bathroom breaks - yes.

Tardies - I guess it depends. If the girl is having major morning sickness, of course she's going to be late during the first trimester. What if the girl is having a difficult pregnancy? It's just so hard to have an answer for this one...it depends on the situation.

Answer 6

I think it should be ok if they need to use the bathroom and attend appointments , however I would say thet its not good if they are trying to take advantage of the situation.

In Ontario , Canada we have The School For Young Moms , its a school where an expectant mother or mothers of children under 12 months can attend to get their schooling.

Its great because they focus on the fact your going to be or already are a parent.

Answer 7

I do belive in the extra bathroom breaks within reason, cause we all know that you have to go alot when pregnant. But the excused tardies and absences absoultly not, when they are in the work place those things are not excused because of children so in school it should be no different.

Answer 8

I agree with using the bathroom whenever they want becuz sometimes they can't hold their bladders. I don't think they should excuse their tardies, everyone should be totally equal on that.

Answer 9

No! Your sister's accomplishments do no longer warrant this variety of kowtowing. Her unreasonable demands placed her mom's wellness at extra threat because of the fact it provides to her rigidity point. She must be grateful to her mom for offering the wonderful atmosphere which permits her to do the flaws she does. I advise you have a severe communicate alongside with your mom and your sister. tell your mom to nip this interior the bud, and placed your sister on word that she will the two could desire to start getting her lunch in college, or bringing it from homestead, in any different case she will in basic terms pass with out till she returns homestead interior the afternoon. After some days of affected by starvation pangs your sister gets the message and initiate making provisions for herself. As for the faculty, in line with possibility you ought to instill extra self-reliance in her than your mom. in basic terms be careful which you do no longer become a objective of her demands.

Answer 10

that's a good idea. It would also be a good idea to have a private nursery in the nurses office for them to bring their babies into (if the young mothers parents work during the day and no one else can watch her baby for her). Actually, I think it would be a better idea if they did that in college; might be a little unnecesarry in high school because (most likely) your parents would take care of the baby while you are at school.
