Alternative Schools

As I mentioned yesterday, some particular types of employees are required to report underage sex as defined by their state. Here is one example case from today's news. Stephanie, 17, is five months pregnant with her third child. When the special school she attends, Riverview Academy, discovered that she was pregnant, the child's father (a 19 year old) "was charged with misdemeanor sexual intercourse with a child and could face up to nine months in jail, if convicted."

If your pregnant daughter is at-risk for not finishing her high school education because of pregnancy or other issues, see if there is a special school that can help her by focusing on job-related skills and/or providing extra tutoring.

Here are just a few alternative schools...do you know of one in your area? Leave us a comment with its name or url!
