It’s probably a good thing that this school is being closed down, especially because of the high cost!! But more because NYC schools running some kind of program like this is always a lose-lose situation. This is again another great argument for vouchers. The Sisters of Life who have a home for pregnant moms in NYC would no doubt do a better job educating young women than the public schools which are wrought with self serving, self acclaimed liberal thinking, pro-abortion, anti-Christian school teachers.
Don’t be so hard on those teen moms!! Yes, they should of kept their “legs closed” but then again you have to give them credit for not aborting their innocent child as so many other young women do. I was a teen mom in NYC in the 80s. I got my GED and went on to college, graduating cum laude at the age of 25. I did it through hard work, not welfare or not because I was a rich kid. I just used my God-given brain and followed my heart.
NYC cost per pupil now for K - 12 is about the same as the cost of medical school in the late 1980s, less than $15,000 a year, depending on the school. I Thank God that I got a scholarship from the U.S. Army.
Raquel, you are so correct. The legislature increases the money for the public schools but refuses to give a tax break to those of us to send our kids to parochial schools.
