text: Students with children aren't as rare as one might think & being in that situation is very stressful for a teenager & causes them to make tough decisions. As a parent they will be tasked with being in charge of another human life & choosing things for them as well as themselves. Missing school after giving birth for the mother is going to be a significant amount of time & staying up on school work is an stressful achievement strive for but it is always an important one. If the child is sick or the parents can't get any outside care they will have to stay home with the child & there is no telling how long that'll be. A lot of schools don't provide day cares also outside daycare cost money which the parents might not have & a parent in that situation most likely want their child in that situation going to a day care at their high school unless it was last resort. Bulks of time will be missed for students in this situation & distance learning is a safe & helpful option for these types of students.
