Parent twist at Bronx HS (25% of students are pregnant or teen parents...)
NY Post ^ | 12/27/11 | YOAV GONEN Education Reporter

Posted on 12/27/2011 8:06:03 AM PST by jimbo123

A shocking one in four students at a Bronx high school slated for closure is a teen parent or pregnant, The Post has learned.

That startling statistic is buried in thousands of pages of documents the city Department of Education submitted to the state earlier this year when it initially sought funds to fix the long-struggling Grace Dodge HS in Belmont.

It has since proposed shuttering the school — with, critics charge, no regard to the parenting teens.

New Zealand more or less says “Do NOT send us your poor, your sick, your huddled masses yearning to breath free. Send us your healthy, affluent, educated, yearning to escape the huddled masses.”

Iceland and Japan have very restrictive immigration policies for “cultural” (read: racial) reasons. New Zealand welcomes Asians who are well educated and fluent in English, as well as similarly situated Americans. I wouldn’t mind living in a smug, liberal state like Massachusetts or Minnesota, if it had a future. Our immigration policies doom both withing a couple of generations. I hate to say it, but even though my wife and I could qualify for immigration to New Zealand, I do not believe my daughter and her family could.

25%?!?

Since, typically, approximately half (50%) of the students are male, that appears to imply that half of the girls have been knocked up...

This is what happens when casual and even random sex is divested of its social stigma. The hip hop generation.

I should have read your response before I posted #42. At least we agree... ;-)

I think that would be good, quite frankly since we cannot afford this. I once wondered how and why they were so harsh, but I realize now that they were because they could not afford to support stuff like this.

Culture, family, upbringing, ethics, morals, etc. have nothing to do with it. This can only be solved by throwing more money at bureaucrats

Just a guess — abstinence isn’t being taught at this school.

But the “fact” that humans are just “evolved animals” is.

Here's a thought for you: the next generation of fatherless and uncultured inner-city youths won't be "dependents" because by then all of the money will have run out.

They'll be combatants. Have a nice day.

one big plus is if you're an unmarried mother your college is basically entirely paid for, probably with free day care as well....

no struggling for those little dears....

its very discouraging that hard work and self discipline mean nothing anymore...

my advice: get pregnant early and often, get a govt job eventually and be lavished with benefits and wages and pensions...

I’m not paying for it. After I get schooling and some funds, I am bailing to a country that does NOT support endless litters of illegitimate children. I want kids of my own and I am not putting having them off because I have to pay for Tamiqua’s spud or TaChinta’s brats who were created from the loins of a variety of gangster thugs.

This is small potatoes compared to the baby factories that illegal Mexicans comprise. The illegal Mexicans even have a name for it: Its called "No television" Think it over and you will understand the reference.

These out-of-wedlock figures are why the Obama machine saw Cain as such a threat. They knew his message of clean living and responsibility among Black Americans was in conflict with their long term plans for the ruin of America

I firmly believe that we need to have MANDATORY DNA testing of un-wed mothers, to identify the responsible male and saddle HIM with the support burden; not the rest of society.

Likewise, in the case of abortions, DNA testing to establish paternity should ALSO be mandatory, and multiple abortions resulting from a previous father would be used to pay for the killing of the unborn, NOT society.

Notice how whne people have had to pay for abortions, most were smart enough to keep their legs together. Private funding would quite frankly end up with fewer abortions and a lot less kids out of wedlock. And I agree with finding out who the father is; put frankly it would make men think twice before he ends up screwing just for the fun of it.
