You don't have to quit. I'm pretty sure the rule is that you can go to school up until the 6th or 7th month, whenever you start showing...she contested it but wound up leaving around the 7th, I think...either way my point was that she's the only one in the 4 years I was there that had a kid.
As far as the statistic being surprising, kids at GBN just don't drop out of school. My grad year I think the dropout rate was 2% for all of GBN, but that sounds kind of high....There's too much pressure to go on to college, or at least graduate. No one ever gets pregnant either, although I'm not going to elaborate on that.
