Maternity leave should be granted to High School Students.

As I stated in my first argument I am at a base and I am reiterating the fact that I am at a base because I am doing my debates on my phone so as not to forfeit. I am glad that you feel the need to point out errors in punctuation, but if you spent as much time debating the issue instead of making personal attacks on me it would probably get you to a conclusion that is more detailed then we should simply allow them to work at home and continue their education. I made a poor comment early in regards to your education and i apologize but without proof of a report card all I can really do is take your word for it. You seem to be a big advocate of the Education system bending over backwards to accommodate for these teen mothers that have made a mistake. The school system should allow excuse absences in order to save them from missing further school or dropping out. The problem with that is a month off is not going to solve the problem the child doesn't become self sufficient after one month. This mother needs to spend as much time as possible in the first 5 years in order to give their child the best shot at a successful future. It is so short sighted to think that this one month break is going to keep this child from missing any further school. You have this idea that the government is some sort of efficient organization that handles money well and does things in the best interest of the people. The term "government gives money" and the "government receives nothing in return" is something you state. I beg to differ in this case, government has no money "to give" that is money that they take out of the income tax of working citizens and redistribute to the schools and many other social programs so spare the government giving as if they are some sort of humanitarian organization. In order to give something one must first own the something so when you state the government gives money you should probably say tax payers give but that is a different story all together. When a child misses school the individual costs that school receives is not redistributed amongst the remaining children it is just more money that the government is able to hold onto and squander in other means. I was joking to a certain extent when I stated that children would get pregnant in order to miss school. When there is consequence from missing school children will be less likely to miss school, if you take this away this will give people that much more reason not to fear the consequences. Anytime a rule is brought up it leads to another than yet another, next thing you know we will be worrying about the fathers to be getting their paternal leave just as males receive paternal leave in the work place. I told you in the first argument that this break was one that would be homework free simply a three week chance for the parent and child to bond, my main argument that maternity is the wrong thing is because we are trying to provide another government run organization that would try and help parents get back into school after a long break. The problem in this is that the newborn is the most important thing now and we most ensure he/she is raised properly so he is not ending up making the same mistake of the mother and father. I wish you the best of luck but I suggest to stop the negativity before it detracts from the points you try to make. Sincerely, Fred R. Cheers!!!
