Just like I think deadbeat "egg donors" should get the same disrespect and mistreatment that deadbeat "sperm donors" get in this society. To hell with them all.

Well, I think the trouble is that the "egg donors" don't legally give them up. If you remain a custodial parent, the state has a much greater hold on you as far as how little you can do before it's neglect. The "sperm donors" never seek custody.
And I don't think any agent of the state could actually "make" the mothers do anything as far as child care programs at school. I don't think you could legally make the mother's enrollment in school dependent on her willingness to work in the child care center.
You could make her enrollment of her child in child care dependent on it, but if she put her kid someplace else, what are you going to do?
I don't think public schools can be everything to everyone. We've got to decide on the services we're offering and try to focus on doing a few things well. Training young mothers in parenting and responsibility is a little beyond the scope of what I think schools ought to be doing. If the government needs to do it at all, they should do it through separate social services and keep the schools for academics IMO.
