Pregnant schoolgirls should be expelled

Must stop relaxing or abandoning our moral standards and ethical principles in order to please different sets of people who are hell-bent on having their own way while expecting others to treat them as if they had not committed an offence to the system!

With that said, the high school is designed to educate, nurture, and guide CHILDREN into becoming adults. It was not -and should not be - designed to accommodate and encourage adult activities and lifestyles such as walking around on the school compound in front of children with pregnant bellies! That would not be sending any good signal to those children within the school who have decided to be, and act like, children until they graduate from the high-school system!

Yes, I know that every pregnant schoolgirl will have a schoolboy who got her pregnant, providing that she wasn't having sex with an adult. However, the one who has the big belly walking around the school will be the one that the other children will definitely know was acting like an adult by having sex before graduating.

THE BOYS CAN STAY

On the other hand, the one who got that person pregnant will not have anything obvious carrying around the school. Hence, the schoolboy has no significant contribution in the tarnishing of the school's moral standards, unless the school decides to identify the boy.

The one who is seen to be carrying a child for nine months must be the one who pays far more attention to how, and with whom she has sex.

I am not saying that she should not continue her education after she gives birth to her child, but what I am saying is that she should do so in another school after the child is born. The schoolboy who got her pregnant should not be dismissed.

A system should be in place that keeps track of, and mandates, that schoolboy to take care of his child after he has graduated from high school.
