Northwest Whitfield County High School
tHIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO HAVE SEX -EDUCATION, COURSES. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL TEEN PREGNANCIES RECENTLY AND BIRTHS. tHO iAM NOT ADVOCATING TEEN PREGNANCY, IT DOES HAPPEN IN THE BEST OF FAMILIES. THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THAT A TEACHER WHO GIVES BIRTH MAY HAVE 6 WEEKS TO RECUPERATE, YET IT IS EXPECTED FOR A YOUNG TEEN MOM TO HAVE ONLY TWO WEEKS TO RECUPERATE. THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE, A YOUNG GIRL IS THREATNED WITH SUSPENSION IF DAYS ARE MISSED DUE TO ILLNESS AFTER HAVING A BABY. EDUCATION IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A YOUNG MOTHER, SHE IS UNDER ENOUGH STRESS JUST HAVING A BABY. WHY IS IT THAT A TEACHER HAS THE RIGHT TO HAVE 6 TO 8 WEEKS OFF? AND A YOUNG TEEN MOM MUST BE WELL AFTER 2 WEEKS AFTER GIVING BIRTH. WE HAVE TAKEN CHRIST OUT OF OUR COUNTRY OUR SCHOOLS OUR NATION. WE GLORIFY TEEN PREGNANCY ON T.V. SHOWS LIKE TEEN MOM. OUR SCHOOL SHOULD BE SUPPORTING THE YOUNG MOTHER WHO AT THIS TIME IS STRUGGLING TO GET HER SCHOOL WORK DONE AND BE A GREAT MOM. EVEN NURSING AND BREAST FEEDING IS DISCOURAGED BY NORTH WEST, NO PUMPING ROOM FOR MOMS TO GET MILK FOR THEIR BABY. THIS IS DETROMENTAL TO INFANT AND MOM. MAYBE THIS SCHOOL WOULD RATHER A YOUNG GIRL WHO FINDS HERSELF IN THIS POSITION SHOULD .TAKE CHRIST OUT OF HER LIFE BY HAVING AN ABORTION? ABSENTEEISM SHOULD BE EXPECTED IF 2 WKS RECOVERY IS EXPECTED. WHY NOT GIVE THE STUDENT THE SAME RECOVERY TIME AS THE TEACHER THEY BOTH HAD GIVEN BIRTH. I HAVE LIVED IN 7 STATES DURING THE MILITARY AND THIS AREA IS BEHIND TIMES . ALL THESE NEW YOUNG MOMS ARE ASKING FOR IS AN EDUCATION, IF NOT GIVEN THE PROPER TIME TO HEAL , YOU WOULD EXPECT THEM TO BE SICK. THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CATCH UP THE WORK BY PICKING UP SCHOOL WORK AND WORKING AT HOME TO RECOVER.
