ABSTRACT

The challenge embedded in the above question asked in an article on pregnant students in Phi Delta Kappan remains pertinent for school policy and practice today. Although it has been thirty years since Title IX was passed, school policies and practices continue to delimit educational access and opportunity for pregnant/mothering students. As this book indicates education for teen mothers cannot be separated from historical, political, and ideological constructions of the teen mother and the problems of unwed teen pregnancy.
