Time for Dep Ed to stop their stupid morality play and terminate single teachers who get buntis.

Forum members often voice concern and/or are critical of the number of unmarried pregnancies here.   But we also are critical of the decision to terminate pregnant single teachers who are expected to be role models for youth.   Kind of a dichotomy?

IF the same forum member is critical of both sides... then yes.   Haven't kept track of who's on what side of the fence. But it doesn't surprise me there are two sides of the fence, as the list of related dichotomies here is larger than this topic alone.

@Mike JI sorta see your point. But having a ethics rule, that takes away the only income source of an otherwise good teacher with a child on the way, isn't going to fix the ills of single mothers in the Philippines .
