Yeah, the foster care system is in bad shape everywhere here in our nation. About five or six years ago, I was reading the job listings section in my local newspaper, and there was an advertisement there looking for people to become foster care parents. I thought that whoever had published that advertisement had to be out of his mind, because people looking for work were not going to be in any financial condition to take in foster care children. Moreover, it looked like an invitation for trouble in that whoever responded to that advertisement would likely not be a suitable foster care parent, to say the least. Separating boys from girls in schools may not completely eliminate the problem of teenage pregnancy today in the era of Internet and cell phones, but I believe that it would provide more control for parents and even their teenage daughters to shut out any undesirables that these girls would otherwise be forced to confront every day at school in a coeducation environment. Therefore, there would likely be fewer teenage girls feeling pressured into having sex and becoming pregnant by these punks who couldn't care less about their future.
