was this a fancy private school seoul.
I wonder what the principal was like...and if you really wanted to know you would ask them right?
How do you know that the girls were told or asked not to come back. They might not have been able to return or even wanted to.
What's your definition of a"fancy private school"?
It was a private school, but not fancy. We had one hallway and about (I'm trying to remember from several decades ago,) about 8 classrooms, if even that. And when I say "classrooms," some were only big enough for maybe 25 students at a time. At the time we attended, there were only about 125 (I think it was actually 124) with all 4 grades of high school combined.
The school was in a tremendous amount of debt, and it was said that the curriculum was at least 10 years behind the public schools because it simply couldn't afford anything more. We didn't have uniforms, but we did have what was seen at the time as a very strict dress code (one of the more infamous rules being that blue jeans weren't allowed.)
It did, however, have a group of dedicated teachers and pastors who tried their best to instill a solid Scriptural foundation and Christian values, and I will be forever grateful for that.
It was also very expensive, and I thank my parents on a regular basis for the long hours they worked just to send us there, because they wanted us to have a Christian education. And I must say that I do believe God chose to put me in that school.
I was around 15 or 16 years old when all of this was happening. You didn't just march into the principal's office and say, "Hey, I know so-and-so is pregnant. So what happened to her and the baby daddy?"
Usually when scandals happened, it was kept as hush-hush as much as possible. There was another incidence in which a boy whose parent was on staff broke into the school, but it was never revealed what actually happened. The boy was immediately expelled, his parent was fired, and it was said that that a lawsuit against the school was possibly in the works. To this day, I don't know what truly went down.
Part of the reason I write about these events is because I have read posts from some people who believe that Christian schools would have sheltered them or would shelter their children from the evils of the world. Maybe in some cases. But that was not my experience, and it hasn't changed.
A family friend of my parents mentioned that their grandchild (who also went to that school not long ago) had a lot of problems with bullying (the popular kids wanted this student to do their homework for them, so they could keep their positions on the sports teams.) I had the exact same problem when I attended the school many, many years before. (Not that this is the worst problem a kid could face -- I'm just using it as an example of how Christian schools are not at all exempt from problems.)
My high school was a mosh pit of students from all the local churches within the synod. In the case of one girl who got pregnant, her friends were in my class and told us that she was not allowed to come back. In the case of the couple who had the abortion, they got caught because they had skipped school in order to do so, and that was the one rare time when the story was later announced in front of the student body. I believe they were suspended for something like a week, but after that, they were back in class as if nothing had happened. (I know because I regularly passed them in the hallway, and it was stated in the announcement that they were going to be able to finish their time there.)
As for the 3rd pregnancy, it was someone within my congregation and it was quickly established that she would not be able to go back to the school, but would be completing her GED (high school equivalent) via night classes.
(Again, it was something I saw for myself, as I knew she never came back to the school after that.)
