Many young parents have to drop out of school to take care of their children, but an Edgewood ISD program is allowing those students to bring their kids to class.
– On Monday evening, 20-year-old Savannah De La Torre walked across the graduation stage with her 2-year-old son, River, in hand.
“My son was the first child here, a baby, here at Learn4Life. And the next day, when I came to school, they had a whole playroom for him,” De La Torre said with a smile.The program is designed for students 14 to 20 years old who are behind in credits, need to graduate, or need to work at their own pace for personal reasons.There are almost 190 students in the program, and about six bring their children to class.
“Miss Padilla, she helps me put him to sleep while I do my work, and he’ll sleep for like 2 hours, and then he’ll wake up, and we’ll play for a little bit,” De La Torre said. “He was tough. He just wouldn’t get along with other kids. Now he gets along with other kids. He has a best friend here. Her name’s Avery, and they’re crazy together,” De La Torre said with a laugh.
