There is very little oversight of home schoolers in Georgia, (and I think it's fine):

So here, yep, it'd be relatively easy to do.
But it'd be even better just to amend the truancy laws to allow girls to stay home with babies for up to a year without facing charges or actually her parents facing charges.
I know that special education students can get public education services until they are 21 under federal law, so I'd be kind of surprised if other states dismissed students for truancy or refused to allow them to re-enroll or retake classes if they were younger than 21, but of course, I don't know.
Are there any states that kick you out at a certain age or after a certain number of years in high school that we know of? I think we'd have heard if they did.
About the babies' dads, I think it would be great to make them responsible, but I think only the guys parents could make them, if they could. While the state can compel support from a parent, I don't think it can force custody on anyone who doesn't want it, and we wouldn't really want it too, would we?
