No, in supporting the young mothers to continue their education, by them not having to leave the school for a couple of hours to attend the ante-natal class elsewhere (because, whilst I might not agree with their life-style choice (and it may have been an "accident")), I believe it is important that a) they continue their education, and b) the mother and baby's health is monitored appropriately.
Speaking from experience many pregnant girls who do wish to continue with their education get all sorts of help from home tuition to special classes set up via the sixth form colleges.The other half aren't bothered and probably wouldn't attend such classes in school anyway.Not voluntarily that is.
