Should high schools provide daycare services for students who have children? Pro-yes, Con-no

Rebuttals - "The majority of teen mothers have to drop out of high school because they have no one to watch their child. This can lead to them not being able to get a decent job so that they can make a living to support the family they have." With this statement I believe that Pro assumes that graduating high school allows that teen mother to already be able to get a decent job, this is wrong. Pro never defined "decent job" so I will say a "decent job" is above minimum wage. (Weekly earnings for "high school diploma, $652") Over 60% of these "decent" jobs will require a college degree and so the teen mom would need to at least go through another 2 - 4 years of college to obtain a "decent job". With all of this in mind, once the student goes to college they are no longer a teen as age 18+ is considered an adult, thus the daycare service that was available in high school was just absolutely useless, because they will probably still have trouble taking care of their child. "I don't know what the big deal is with there being a place just in case something should happen." There are tons of "big deal" in placing this in high schools, one of them being cost. Schools get their money from taxpayers, and let's see... I don't believe many of those taxpayers will be happy knowing their money is going towards a daycare to help "some" students (who had a chance to NOT get pregnant), than to go spend it on education for all. Why should a taxpayer pay for someone's mistake!? Also by including a daycare would mean to funnel some money for teacher salaries/extra curriculum/education into a daycare system, and I'm sure a daycare system is not the best use of money. " all four girls enrolled in the program not only graduated, but went on to attend college... This all but proves that if you give teen moms a place to drop off their baby while they attend class, they can go on to graduate from high school and also go to attend collage." This doesn't prove anything, the source said only four, which is a small sample to compare to the millions of teen moms who had help and never graduated. Arguments: Most of my argument may or may not be from previous comments above. - A teen's body is a privacy of hers and not suppose to be a part of school, which is a government agency. In the fourth amendment, we as citizens have the "right to privacy" and by providing daycare services in a government agency would be like providing an abortion clinic inside of a school, they need to be separated not intertwined and of course I know you will argue that they have the choice to do so, then why even include that day care inside of school, it is illegal to be there in the first place. - By placing daycare services in school, you are just delaying the inevitable for the parent. Like I stated in my previous rebuttal, I had stated that even if they were to finish high school, this doesn't assume they will be stable and have a perfect life afterwards. Less than 2% of teen moms earn a college degree by age 30! Basically by including daycare services in high school is a useless idea. - Knowing that the daycare server is useless it will be funneling taxpayer's money from education to daycare services that only a few may need.
