I attended a high school with a similar program in a small town, and recently moved to a large city where the public high schools have no such program. I think that's absurd, especially since there is a greater number of teen parents here that could benefit from being able to continue their education with their kids nearby. Does anyone know anything about how to start such a program?
Absolutely awesome. There is
Absolutely awesome. There is a similar program in operation at Baldwin County High School in Bay Minette, AL. I am all for this idea as a staple in all public high schools. The teacher is absolutely correct in stating that it is a win-win situation for everyone--parents can continue their professional calling while having their own children close by, students are getting theory in conjunction with application which is so important in the early care field (I, myself, have over nine years experience in early childhood education and an AAS degree in said field!), and the young children benfit moreover, getting one on one care and attention, knowing that mom or dad is also near by and can visit during lunch or planning periods. Smart, smart, smart!
