    Proposal

    We would like to see more daycares in high schools. Many teens who get pregnant tend to dropout of school because they may have to care for their children on their own. Too often,they do not have the necessary tools to do so. Implementing this idea would reduce the droput rate of pregnant teens and increase the amount of women in the workforce. Daycares in highschools could also serve as an educational class that exposes students to parenthood. We want to show how everyone can make a diffrence and those who are single parents in high school or college should have the help they need.
