Im rather torn on the issue. But one thing that I know without a doubt, is that I would want my daughter to finish school, baby or not. Graduating from high school is non-negotiable. It is far too important for her well being and chance at life for me to kick her out and make it impossible for her to go to school.
Obviously, I would support her decision to do what she thinks is best. If she wants to keep the baby, I would help her with daycare until she graduates. Besides, itd be a grandbaby, Id want to watch the baby a lot anyway.
There would be terms set up though, that they have to move out a year after she completes high school. This would give her time to find an apartment/house to rent, get a job, and secure financial aid to help pay for daycare. I would also try to show her the options of going to a community college part time so that she can still get an associates degree or be working towards it. Young mothers, especially single, have their way to school completely paid by the Pell Grant.
Overall, it would be very tough, but I wouldnt just drop my daughter and let her flounder around, especially not with a baby involved.
