This is a fascinating four and a half minutes of radio. It's a rare glimpse into the schooling of teenage mothers. Most of the story is told through the teachers, and at first I found this mildly disappointing. I wanted to hear more from the spirited teens who kick off the item in a raucous way. But the respect and understanding the teachers show their pupils says more about the strengths of these young parents than they themselves might have been able to articulate in such a short time.
The narrative flows smoothly, the important questions get answered and the interjections from teen moms are great. Solid production work. Well done!
