A bunch of girls at some high school, none older than 16, made a pact to get pregnant. People are trying to figure out why they would do so. Um, part of it may be the school's culture towards high school mothers:
The high school has done perhaps too good a job of embracing young mothers. Sex-ed classes end freshman year at Gloucester, where teen parents are encouraged to take their children to a free on-site day-care center. Strollers mingle seamlessly in school hallways among cheerleaders and junior ROTC. "We're proud to help the mothers stay in school," says Sue Todd, CEO of Pathways for Children, which runs the day-care center.
Sure makes having a kid in high school seem not so bad, huh? I mean, except for all of the other kids that have to deal with strollers in the hallway.
