Talk:Public schools in the United States (view source)
Revision as of 17:34, June 16, 2010
, 17:34, June 16, 2010→Source for 10% pregnancy rate?
::::All the evidence seems to point to a percentage even higher than 10%, so I don't see why the 10% estimate would be considered unacceptable for somehow being too high. I wouldn't expect public schools to admit to this problem or for precise data to be available.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:35, 14 June 2010 (EDT)

:::::We don't really have any evidence to point to a particular number. We have a number from a ''single'' school (and an atypical one, at that) giving us about 14%. The only piece of data that evaluates the whole nation gives us about 7%, but that's just pregnancy rates among 15-19 year olds in general, and doesn't mention schooling at all. We could technically say that "One public school has a pregnancy rate of over 14% among its female students," but that would be kind of weaselly. We don't have any evidence from which to draw conclusions about a typical public school or public schools as a whole. [[User:ChrisGT90|ChrisGT90]] 13:34, 16 June 2010 (EDT)
